The producer
Latteria Perenzin - San Pietro di Feletto (TV) - Veneto
Why we chose them
Emanuela Perenzin represents the fourth generation of a family that has been making cheese since 1898.
The dairy was founded by Domenico Perenzin together with his sons - including Angelo, Emanuela's grandfather - in the village of Tarzo, a few
kilometres from the current premises, which were built in 1958 and renovated in 1997. The dairy became the 'Premiata Latteria Perenzi'' thanks to
grandfather Angelo, who was awarded a gold medal at the Salon des Arts Ménagers in Brussels way back in 1933.
Today, Emanuela runs the family business with determination and enthusiasm, having been involved in it from a very young age; she is now
supported by her children, who represent the fifth generation: Matteo oversees production, whilst Erika manages the PER Cheese Bar and the dairy
shop.
A business that for over 120 years has offered a glimpse into Venetian artisanal cheese-making, with a strong focus on experimentation and
innovation.
