Furthermore, with the agreement the “Progetto Integrato di Filiera” was launched, with a new specification for the production, capable of adding to the Tuscan milk more quality content regarding the product and its land, increasing the physical and psychological wellbeing of our animals, launching new original products with a high health content, in new eco-sustainable packaging , aimed at particular consumer segments and which will represent a further qualitative leap of the Mukki milk in the milk market.
