Central Formaggi

Established in Sardinia in 1974, Central carries forward a cheesemaking tradition passed down through four generations since 1920. Our family's commitment to quality has been handed down through the decades, shaping a company built on rigorous ingredient selection, traditional artisanal techniques, and a continuous pursuit of innovation.

Among our signature creations, our Moliterno al Tartufo stands as a testament to this philosophy: a refined sheep's milk cheese enriched with delicate veins of black truffle, celebrated and awarded for its distinctive character and exceptional quality. It is a product that has come to define our brand's identity in the international market.

Beyond Moliterno al Tartufo, Central's portfolio extends to nearly 60 varieties of sheep's and goat's milk cheeses, reflecting our ongoing commitment to diversity, craftsmanship, and the evolving demands of an increasingly discerning clientele.
