One can come from a far from humble background and yet still keep one’s feet firmly on the ground! This is undoubtedly the case of Jacques Abbatucci, a descendent of a renowned family of the island, where ministers succeeded generals, but who, thanks to his filiation, has retained a taste for work and, better still, work well done! It is therefore natural that Jacques Abbatucci created his farm and raises his cattle on the land of his ancestors, between the meadows and hillsides of the lower valley of Taravo.

But the perfectionist and ardent defender of the island land couldn’t settle for raising cattle brought over from their native Limousin or Aubrac. “In my grandmother’s herd I noticed these interesting cows with brindle coats that here we call ‘Zaïnata’,” the farmer remembers. After years of research and drastic selection, the “tiger cow”, an authentic Corsican breed of cow, was reborn in the green pastures of Taravo. Jacques Abbatucci now dedicates all of his time, diligence and passion to offering consumers this unique taste and impeccable tenderness. The farm is certified Organic and has also been applying the principles of biodynamy since 2002.

“We are now completely self-sufficient in terms of production and our animals feed exclusively on feed that we have grown,” Jacques explains. “I’m not doing anything extraordinary. I simply apply the rules which have always prevailed here but which we have gradually lost sight of: choosing a local breed that is adapted to the land that it feeds from.” Obvious common sense which today makes all the difference!
