The variety of LAIT flavor
High-Quality Sardinian Pecorino Cheeses Certified DOP by LAIT
Lait Latteria Ittiri is a cooperative of Sardinian shepherds, bringing together around 350 member suppliers and 80 employees.
Fresh milk reaches our dairy through a dedicated logistics network of company-owned milk tankers, connecting the pastures directly to our central processing facility.
Our Cheeses
Among LAIT’s sheep’s milk cheeses, besides our PDO specialties, you’ll find aged, fresh cheeses, and ricottas – all from sheep raised in Sardinia.
Our PDO Cheeses
LAIT’s PDO cheeses include Pecorino Romano PDO and Pecorino Sardo Maturo PDO, crafted from 100% high-quality Sardinian milk and reflecting local tradition.

The Values that Guide the LAIT Cooperative
Connection to the Land
Founded in 1959, LAIT was established as a cooperative enterprise – a model that has fostered strong social bonds among member shepherds and built a lasting connection with the Sardinian territory.
Over the decades, this bond has shaped and strengthened our commitment to protecting the genuine character of local products, creating a real added value for our customers around the world.
Environmental Sustainability
Our member farms follow animal husbandry practices designed to ensure the well-being of their flocks, with most sheep grazing freely in open pastures rather than being kept indoors.
The richness and variety of Sardinia’s natural grazing lands enhance the quality of the milk and give every Lait cheese its unique and unmistakable flavour, true to its origin.
Quality and Food Safety
Our traditional pecorino cheeses are crafted using state-of-the-art equipment and the highest hygiene standards, in full compliance with all food processing regulations.
Every year, Lait obtains and renews major international certifications for quality and food safety, ensuring that every product meets the expectations of even the most demanding markets.
