Azienda Agricola Agneda – Quality Cheeses, Meat, Cured Meats, and Wine in Valtellina
Azienda Agricola Agneda is a family-run livestock and wine-producing business, active near Sondrio, in Valtellina, since the first decade of the 2000s. The company continues the family's agricultural tradition, focusing on quality, sustainability and certified organic production.
The company breeds Brown Swiss cows and Frisa goats, from which it produces organic raw milk cheeses with an authentic flavor linked to the territory. They also breed Aubrac cattle for the production of organic meat and pigs for the preparation of fresh and aged cured meats.
All the forage used to feed the animals is grown directly by the company, ensuring maximum control over every phase of the supply chain and guaranteeing genuine and high-quality products.
The animals graze freely in the meadows adjacent to the farm, in the maggenghi (mid-mountain pastures) and in the alpeggi (high-mountain pastures). The breeding follows the altimetric quotas and the seasonality of the pastures, starting from the valley floor (300 m), ascending in spring to the mid-mountain pastures (1200 m) and reaching, from June, the organic alpeggio of Acquanera in Valmalenco, at 2200 meters of altitude.
In addition to dairy and livestock production, Azienda Agricola Agneda cultivates Nebbiolo grapes in a terraced vineyard on the Rhaetian slopes of Valtellina. These grapes produce the Dos Salat wine, an authentic expression of the Valtellina territory.
The company's products – cheeses, meat, cured meats, and wine – are available all year round at the company store in Sondrio.
