The producer
Caseificio Dalla Valentina - Velo Veronese (VR) - Veneto
Why we chose them
The history of Caseificio Dalla Valentina began in the 1920s, when great-grandfather Domenico and his son Achille started producing cheese. Over
the years, they decided to increase production, and so Caseificio Achille was founded in 1957. In the 2000s, with the arrival of the third generation
led by brothers Franco and Ezio, the dairy was modernised and took on its current appearance. Today, Caseificio Dalla Valentina, the current name
of the company, processes milk from around twenty local farms all year round, managing the daily milk collection round. From June to September,
with the summer project "10 Malghe", it also processes milk collected from 10 mountain dairies located between 1,300 and 1,600 metres above sea
level in the heart of the Lessinia Park: a collection of summer cheeses produced with thermised milk that enhances the great tradition of mountain
dairies and pastures located in Lessinia.
