Founded in 1989 in Belmonte Mezzagno, in the heart of Sicily, SI.FOR. was born from the passion of Pietro and Giovanni Pastoia for their land and from several generations of family experience in the trade of Sicilian cheeses. The house now offers a wide selection of specialties from the island, from pecorini to pasta filata cheeses and ricottas, keeping Sicilian milk and local cheesemaking traditions at the heart of its identity.
