Carena Angelo - Caselle Lurani (LO) - Lombardy

Caseificio Carena began its activity in 1924 with the production of typical cheeses from Lodi area (in Lombardy) thanks to the initiative of Angelo Carena. Angelo passes on his passion for cheeses to his children, who soon go to work in the dairy, extending the production to other cheeses typical of the Lombard tradition, including Taleggio. In 2003 the Pannerone di Lodi, the flagship of the dairy, became a Slow Food Presidium. Today Angelo's grandchildren, the third generation of the Carena family, also work in the dairy and despite the innovation of the systems they maintains the typicality and craftsmanship of the cheeses, as did their grandfather Angelo.
