This is Antonella–who is NOT an eating sheep (apparently).
Yup—Le Virtu has a new member of their family—a sheep named Antonella.
Antonella lives on an affiliated farm in Anversa Degli Abrizzi, Italy named La Porta dei Parchi. A lot of Le Virtu’s and Brigantessa’s cheeses come from the cousin of La Porta’s owner, so by adopting Antonella, Le Virtu is financially giving back to the farm.
Plus, you know, they’ve got their own sheep now. Kinda. In Italy. Which is kinda cool
Don’t hear that every day, do you?
