About Virgilio
Origin: Located beneath the Po Valley in northern Italy, Virgilio represents a guarantee of quality for dairy products with unique characteristics shaped by both the geographical environment and the significant human factor.
On one hand, the geographical environment, including the air, water, and the area’s formation, along with a range of natural factors, contribute to the distinct flavor and taste differentiation. On the other hand, our human heritage is obtained through knowledge of processing methods dating back centuries.
Production: Milk serves as a unique and fundamental element. This ancient art, embodying a history of a thousand years, is based on rituals that remain true. Milk is poured from the morning and evening of the previous day into typical copper cauldrons shaped like a bell.
About 550 liters of milk are needed for each form of Parmesan cheese. The milk coagulates slowly and naturally, thanks to the addition of rennet and whey rich in natural lactic fermentation from previous cheeses.
The curd breaks up due to the skillful craftsmanship of the cheesemaker into small granules, using an ancient tool called a “spino”. However, it is the heat at a temperature of 55 degrees Celsius that causes the cheese granules to settle at the bottom, forming a single mass. After 50 minutes, the cheesemaker extracts the cheese mass, begins to cut it into two parts, and wraps it with a piece of cloth made of typical natural fibers. The cheese is shaped in this manner and placed in a mold that gives it its final shape.

About Marit
Before we embark on our journey, let’s talk about the unique beauty of Şanlıurfa and its historical composition. Southeast Anatolia is one of the most important centers for livestock breeding and feeding. It has been home to many different civilizations throughout history, including the Sumerians, Assyrians, Commagene, Seljuks, and the Ottoman Empires in this region. Cities like Göbeklitepe, Balıklıgöl, Zeugma, Dara Ancient, and Mount Nemrut are evidence of this historical richness of the area.
Our journey begins!
Life starts with the sunrise at Marit Farm, which is the largest livestock farm in Turkey, established on an open field spanning 740,000 square meters in Şanlıurfa. Our primary mission each day is to control the feed and water for our animals. Every day, the health, digestion, and welfare of the animals are monitored by our veterinarians.
We Value Nature
We care about nature as much as we care about our production. To create a sustainable environment, recycling is essential in every aspect of our lives.
We prevent energy waste and environmental pollution thanks to a waste analysis method we use to determine the amount of feed and rations for the animals. We strive for zero waste by composting straw and natural manure in our facilities to convert waste.
The fertilization process used in agriculture and animal husbandry improves the physical, chemical, and biological structure of the soil. This method enables us to coexist peacefully with our surrounding environment.
So what happens on this farm?
Thanks to this farm, we not only benefit ourselves and our animals, but through our contracted agricultural practices, we contribute to the region’s economy by using forage plants cultivated by our local residents. For the comfort and health of our animals, we regularly adhere to veterinary regulations and ensure they are fed with natural feed in their natural environment.
We care for the animals’ comfort for their happiness and keep them away from stress. You may wonder, “Stress?” Yes, animals can experience stress too.
Well, what are the things that can cause stress?
Weather conditions, hunger, and cohabitation of animals from different herds are some of the major stressors.
Therefore, by providing a natural living environment for our livestock, we meet their needs by scratching their bodies and rubbing them with a special brush suitable for their length and weight.
Or do you think animals never scratch their bodies? Yes, scratching soothes the animals, makes them cleaner, and prevents stress by increasing their welfare.
At the second stop on our journey
Did you know that animals from the same herd and weight must live together? At our farm, we pay great attention to this issue in the pastures and prioritize the happiness of our animals.
We seem to hear you asking, “What precautions do you take?” We provide large spaces for our animals. We ensure that water troughs are always full to protect them from dehydration, and we use nutritious and natural feed recommended by our agricultural engineers. As we closely monitor the animals’ process to reach the ideal weight, we are always gentle with them.
Animals that have reached the required weight are slaughtered by the Islamic method under the supervision of a veterinarian. The slaughter meats are prepared to be processed at the Marit production facility through our special refrigerated vehicles, which maintain the freshness of the first day. The secret to the unique taste of Marit lies in every stage of this journey.
High Technology in Marit Production Facility
Our facility is designed with a structure that complies with European standards.
There are specific temperature ranges required for meat to maintain its freshness and quality. The meats from Şanlıurfa farm are stored in cold stores with an ambient temperature of up to +2 degrees Celsius. For health and quality, the temperature is constantly balanced at +8 degrees Celsius in all production areas.
