| Curiosity | Only two Italian regions by law and tradition foresees the production of Gorganzola, and only these provinces: Novara, Vercelli, Cuneo, Biella, Verbano Cusio Ossola and Casale Monferrato for Piedmont and Bergamo, Brescia, Como, Cremona, Lecco, Lodi, Milano, Monza, Pavia e Varese for Lombardy. Only the milk from the breeders in these provinces can be used to produce and so give the protected denomination (D.O.P.) to the Gorganzola cheese |

The producer
Carozzi Formaggi - Pasturo (LC) - Lombardy
Why we chose them
The Valsassina valley, nestled between Lake Lecco and the distinctive Grigna mountain, boasts unique microclimatic conditions that are ideal for
the production of cheese. And it is precisely here that the Carozzi family has been working for over 60 years. Founded in 1960 by Aldo Carozzi, the
company is now in its third generation and is currently run by Roberto together with his three children: Vera, Aldo and Marco. Carozzi passionately
combines the skill of cheesemakers with the latest technology. At the new premises in Pasturo, Lecco, in a modern setting, the human touch
remains irreplaceable in the maturing of washed-rind cheeses, the company's main activity. Prioritising quality above all else, Carozzi matures all the
great Lombardy DOPs such as Gorgonzola, Taleggio and Quartirolo. But that's not all. From the ideas of the younger generations, new projects and
new products have emerged: from the freshest goat's cheeses, to bloomy-rind cheeses, right through to creamy cheeses.
