THE MANUFACTURER

The story of Renato Maunero is a story of passion with its turning point in 2007, when he decided that he had to come to terms with his real needs and interests and changed his life. His search for authenticity asked for a deeper connection with nature, so he made up with his satisfying 20-year long business activity. He has patiently committed to goat breeding ever since, starting with a mere two goats and creating his own herd little by little, with dedication and passion. Today, his herd is made of 50 goats, which Renato milks for making cheese.
Renato relates the choice of devoting to goat breeding and cheese making to when he used to visit his grandgrandmother and she prepared a goat toma cheese.He is fond of his herd and the wellbeing of the goats is his priority. This is why he is concerned with the rhythms of nature, makes no use of animal feed and still follows the ancient tradition of ‘transhumance’, moving his herd to Summer pastures in Alta Langa.This experience has already made many of Renato’s dreams come true. He also hopes, however, to serve as an inspiration for young people, who must understand how important it is to work hard and get committed in order to feel fully satisfied.
The period of cheese making lasts from March till October. During off-periods, Renato devotes to another traditional activity of the Langhe region: the search of the white truffle of Alba.
