Our Testa Mora
In 1963, Sylvain Germain took the farm over and began its modernization, while remaining faithful to the dairy tradition linked to the wilderness and pastoral culture in Corsica. Combining tradition and modernity, Corselait dairy is also known for its other cheeses such as Corsican Square, Cyrnos, Pasturella, Carré du Maquis, Kalliste or Brocciu PDO.

The Corsican emblem, the Moor’s head, takes the form of a black coloured face wearing a white bandana on the forehead, and represented on a white background. Also called "Testa Mora" in Corsican, this flag is used everywhere in Corsica. It represents both Corsica and its inhabitants.
