THE INSTITUTE
RAW MILK & CHEESE
agri-food of the future
WHO WE ARE
The Cheese Institute
The Cheese Institute is a highly specialised consultancy firm in technological and scientific processes, primary production systems and business strategic positioning in the field of raw milk and cheese.
The Cheese Institute offers practical solutions for private companies as well as for public institutions, including science, novel economic models and social innovation into the proposals in order to give the best possible service.
Raw milk and cheese are universal elements of incalculable social, cultural and economic value and its consumption dates back to the beginning of the domestication of livestock. That’s why we put in place these elements as world historical references to urge transformation into the current agri-food system in order to develop novel quality food alternatives that are healthy and sustainable in the future, both economically and environmentally.
The Cheese Institute’s expertise fuses modern approaches from basic research, natural and social sciences and techonology for the benefit of a high quality food consumer and producer citizenship of the future.
Our internal strategy comprises three essential lines to stablish the appropriate scenario in order to co-create a specific universe to develop the agro-gastronomy of the future:
Transform agri-food culture from the well-being perspective:
- “Agro-gourmet” aware population.
- Community, society and agri-food collective as co-creators of the agro-gastronomy of the future.
Transform agro-industrial culture from the science perspective:
- Agro-healthy and sustainable R&D&I.
- Transformational agri-food innovation.
Transform agri-food system culture of the future from support, accompaniment and economic acceleration of relevant and innovative projects:
- Agri-food of the future and enriching experiences for producers and consumers.
- Agro-industries and agri-food likely to become innovation vehicles for the food of the future.

Mission
The Cheese Institute’s mission is to point out the value of the cheese productions and to increase the high quality cheese production and consumption in a sustainable and economically viable way for the entire agri-food value chain.
We want to attract public and private institutions towards an innovative approach based on the scientific and social development in order to contribute to the evolution of the producing sector towards a new more competitive model and adapted to the forms of consumption of the future, proposing and developing singular projects.
On the other hand, The Cheese Institute is an entity of national and international impact that generates knowledge, scientifically verified and contrasted, and encourages dissemination to society and transfer of cutting-edge technologies and agri-food advances in order to carry out the construction of novel concepts of international strategic organization.

Vision
From The Cheese Institute we want to propose cheese as a vehicle of singular innovation and raw milk as the best biodiversity ambassador of a geographical area, for the benefit of an economically sustainable consumer society in the future.
Our ambition is to foster a prosperous and sustainable gastronomic and agri-food ecosystems, based on the cultural diversity that exists today and in which consumers and the agri-food industry can evolve in tune with each other, offering a highly qualified and specialised consulting to the figures involved in the ecosystem itself.
Taking into account that cheese is a unique gastronomic heritage with high culinary, biological and nutritional value, the transformational movement that The Cheese Institute promotes and encourages, naturally emerges in three lines:
- Development, protection and preservation of cultural particularities:
producers-creators and food-creations that combine tradition and innovation
- Development, protection and preservation of agricultural systems and rural environments of high environmental value:
farming modernization with environmentally friendly practices and based on biosustainability and biodiversity as necessary elements for the economic balance between rural and urban universes
- Development, protection and preservation of singular food production:
science and art at the service of the food of the future
