Argiolas Formaggi

Argiolas Formaggi, a pioneering cheese company leading the way in the production of Sardinian cheeses, was founded in Dolianova, in the province of Cagliari, in 1954, by two brothers Ennio and Eligio Argiolas. During their first years in business, they used to buy cheeses and let them age. the two brothers then decided to start producing their own cheese and rented a cheese factory. That’s how they started experimenting new types of cheese and continuously improved quality. In 1970 they built their own first Argiolas Formaggi cheese factory which today is the core of the establishment. Nowadays, the company uses the most advanced technologies, such as a central IT system in the warehouse to regulate temperature and humidity, in order to ensure the best product quality during every step of the manufacturing process.

Argiolas only uses sheep, goat and cow milk from Sardinia and, thanks to 60 years of experience in the field, it successfully combines traditional cheese-making from Sardinia with new processing methods and high hygiene standards. A test laboratory checks every step of the manufacturing process, ensuring that products are always wholesome. Argiolas cheeses have gradually gained renown at national and international level, as a further proof of the quality and authenticity of its products.
