This is a changing world, navigating between modernity and tradition. Times have changed, taking pastoralism with them. However, good news! If sometimes the task is tough, the shepherds have known how to adapt. They have used this age-old tradition to enter the 21st century with the fierce desire to perpetuate this know-how, these ways of life, the deep desire to offer consumers the best products and above all to bring the mountains to life.
