In Abruzzo, Italy, lies a small village by the name of Anversa degli Abruzzi. And when I say small, I mean it—just over 300 people inhabit the mountainside town overlooking the Saggitario Gorge. Livestock roams in the mountains of this eye-catching denomination. 

A family in this village—the Marcellis—herd sheep and goats for the purpose of making farmstead cheeses. Their farm, La Porta dei Parchi, has been in existence for 45 years and is sought out in the region as a pillar of sustainable and ethical agriculture.
