Produced and sold fresh, the Ricotta cheese is also aged or “dried "on wooden trellis located in specific well- ventilated areas and then smoked. This process takes place exclusively using wood from the company’s olive and orange groves, so even in this case the control of the quality of the materials used for smoking is completely guaranteed.

The smoke gives the Ricotta cheese that particular flavor that characterizes the products of the Upper Marquis of Crotone.
