The Water Footprint of Gran Moravia is only 2.094 lt/kg per product, as measured by DNV Business Assurance. This count is less than the half of other cheeses’ water footprint, according to “waterfootprint.org”.
The artisanal cheese-making tradition meets a greater green project
This record result comes from the suitable weather conditions of the Moravia region and from the water saving practices adopted by the “Eco-Sustainable chain”.
In the cheese production plant (grey water) all the techniques of recycling and recovery are adopted. In the farms (blue water) the fodder is grown without artificial irrigation, in fact in Moravia region the natural humidity is sufficient for a regular growth of the crop, even during summer time.
The result is that for Gran Moravia hard cheese “blue water” is only 72 lt/kg.
Through our diet we can influence water consumption and “virtual transfer of water”. The choice of Gran Moravia cheese in the daily diet, without discarding other animal protein nutrients and by taking them in turns, allows you to greatly diminish your water footprint while enjoying a rich and complete diet.
