La Vallata Farm is an agricultural and agritourism business located among the hills of Lajatico, in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. It stands out for an organic, natural approach strongly tied to family tradition.
Carlo Giusti’s “White Face” is one of the most distinctive and sought-after products linked to La Vallata farm in Lajatico. It is not a brand in itself, but a selected type of beef that is part of the broader project called “Le Follie di Carlo Giusti”.
🐄 What is White Face
“White Face” is:
a cross between Hereford and Angus cattle breeds
raised in Lajatico on Carlo Giusti’s farms
The name comes from the characteristic white face typical of the Hereford breed.
🌿 Rearing method
This meat is especially interesting for how it is produced:
grass-fed farming (grass only)
animals free to roam, beyond free-range standards
rotational grazing to regenerate the soil
no intensive use of feed or industrial systems
This approach is consistent with Carlo Giusti’s entire philosophy: few animals, raised well, with great attention to welfare and final flavor.
