LATTE ARBOREA: LA RIVOLUZIONE GENTILE DEL LATTE, DAL 1956
Sardinian tradition in every drop
Our story is one of purely Italian success, born from a strong and generous land.
Latte Arborea took shape from its deep connection with Sardinia, daily transforming tradition into quality, rural knowledge into excellence. Today, we are among the leaders in the sector, but we continue to do things the way we always did: with care, respect, and genuine passion.
The family business “Torresan” and its protagonists, Giorgio and Mauro Torresan, take us to discover their farm, located in the Arborea area, telling how the value of tradition has guided them for over ninety years.
The 3A Cooperative is born
In the heart of the reclaimed plain of Arborea, a collective dream comes to life: the Arborea Associates’ Cooperative , now known as 3A, is born.
It’s the first step in an agricultural and human project destined to grow over time, founded on unity, sharing, and a connection to the Sardinian land.
A kindness that comes from afar. And that looks ahead.
Our milk comes from a special place, where nature is generous and people still call each other by their first names. Every drop tells a story of family, of care, of patience. A story spanning three generations, made of hands that hold each other and glances that pass on knowledge.
This is how, for almost seventy years, we have transformed the sweetness of Sardinia into an everyday excellence.
We don’t just produce milk, we cultivate a promise every day: to bring authentic flavor to Italian tables, made of genuine gestures, genuine relationships, and genuine roots.
Because our revolution is gentle. And it begins every morning, when the sun lights up the stables and the scent of the earth reminds us where we come from.
And where we want to continue going: together.
Sandro and Alessio Pisanu, father and son partners in the “Agricola F.lli Pisanu” farm, tell us how the generational transition is taking place on their farm, which is characterized by cooperation, organization, and planning.
Generational transition
We believe in a future rooted in tradition. For this reason, Latte Arborea actively promotes generational turnover policies, offering training, support, and concrete opportunities to young farmers who choose to continue the work of their parents and grandparents.
Supporting new generations means ensuring continuity, innovation, and well-being for the entire farming community.
Because every new business born within the Cooperative is a promise of a future for everyone.

FAQs
Why is it called a “gentle revolution”?
In a land that everyone imagined to be harsh, tough, and stubborn, we cultivated an unexpected kindness: delicate, sincere, and cooperative. Since 1956, our revolution has not raised its voice, but has chosen the path of respect. For nature, for animals, for people. Every day, we transform milk into a kind gesture that nourishes trust. This is how Sardinia has taken on a new shape. And how milk born in a difficult place has become the symbol of excellence that speaks softly but reaches far.
What does it mean that Arborea milk is “100% Sardinian”?
It means it’s made in Sardinia, a land we know and respect. Our milk comes from cows raised by Sardinian families, following a short, transparent supply chain, monitored at every stage. From milking to processing, everything happens just a few kilometers away. So every sip speaks of a real place, a strong identity, and a daily commitment to bringing fresh, authentic, and valuable milk to all of Italy.
What does the transformation into a Benefit Corporation represent?
This is our commitment, in writing. Since 2021, we have been a Benefit Corporation: this means that, in addition to generating economic value, we also take responsibility for producing social and environmental value. We have written this into our Bylaws and we measure it annually, to make our work for the community, Sardinia, and future generations visible to everyone.
What is the Impact Report?
It’s the official document that transparently outlines our commitment: from environmental results to social impact. The first Impact Report was published in 2022 and marks an important milestone in our responsible cooperation journey. It’s a tool for building trust, accounting for every action, and improving every day.
How is Latte Arborea investing in the future?
With concrete actions, born from the land. Whether it’s expanding our dairy, using solar energy, studying the environmental footprint of milk, or innovating in our fields, every investment has a goal: building a more just, sustainable, and shared future. And we do it starting from where we were born: the heart of Sardinia.
Cooperation is our strength. This is why we promote and support concrete projects that generate lasting value for the local area.
Sustainability
Sustainability isn't just an opportunity, it's a daily responsibility.
We consistently adopt best practices to protect the environment, because only by respecting nature and animals can we guarantee a sustainable future for future generations.
