Tradition

Lattari Mountains are the backbone of Sorrento Peninsula. It is a charming place with lots of paths for treking, it offers the opportunity to walk through breathtaking landscapes of Amalfi Coast.

In Roman times, Lattari Mountains were part of Regio I Latium et Campania and were the sad theater of the battle that ended the greek-Gothic war, which faced the Byzantine general Narsete and the last Ostrogoth king Teia.

The territory was already appreciated by the Romans for the fertile soil, and the suitable space for breeding. Among the various municipalities that fall within this context we find Sant'Egidio del Monte Albino called "Gate of the Amalfi Coast" because it is the first country on the road to the pass of Chiunzi, moreover in Roman times it was related to the cult of the God Sarno, as reflected in the representations of a marble fountain found among the remains of a country manor.

In the Middle Ages this villa was converted in the Benedictine monastery dedicated to St. Gilles, the French name of Sant'Egidio, and it became part of "Nuceria sottana" (lower) as the University of Sant'Egidio.

The agricultural tradition is still very strong and deep, and it offers numerous products of absolute quality such as many renowned sheep cheeses. They differ for the breed of sheep from which milk is obtained, the geomorphological and weather conditions of pastures where sheeps graze and the production techniques. To these factors are added the various types of seasoning and eventual refinement. The chain of Lattari Mountains has a lot of caves used as natural seasoning cells, able to donate to cheese a characteristic flavour impossible to replicate elsewhere, thanks to their inner microclimate and the presence of unique moulds and bacteria.
