• L'Emboirat, a lactic-curd cheese made with raw sheep's milk and aged for 2 to 3 weeks, with a smooth, creamy texture.
• Raw sheep's milk cheese spread with herbs grown by the Sambucus cooperative in Sant Pere de Torelló.
• Matons and yogurts, fresh dairy products.
• Milk-fed lamb, raised exclusively on its mother's milk and available whole (7–8 kilograms) or half (3.5–4 kilograms), at €15 per kilogram, with home delivery in Manlleu and nearby areas.

In 2015, its aged cheese won the Popular Jury's First Prize for Best Farmhouse Cheese at the 5th Fira de Formatges de Pastor i Llet Crua in Olost, Lluçanès. The cooperative was also included in the 2015 book Formatges. Els 50 millors de Catalunya (Cheeses: The 50 Best in Catalonia).
