COMPANY PRESENTATION
Established as a farmer in 1972 in Poggio Mezzana, Michel MATTEI delivered the milk from his herd to the Roquefort cheese factories for two seasons and then started on-farm processing.
Very quickly, from 1976 onwards, the small Fougère (A FILETTA) cheese emerged. The technique improved and the product became successful, leading to an expansion of the herd and the operation.
In 1981, he and his wife Laurence moved to the cellars of 'Maison MANNONI', on the edge of National Road 198 in the municipality of Taglio Isolaccio. The success was such that they considered buying milk from their neighbors.
In 1984, Laurence MATTEI took over the cheese-making activity as an artisan cheesemaker.
(4 suppliers - including M MATTEI - 120,000 liters of sheep's milk).
In 1989, the SARL 'A FILETTA' artisan cheese factory was created.
It took over the artisanal activity previously carried out by Mrs. MATTEI.
