The producer
Caseificio Fabris - Bertiolo (UD)
Why we chose them
Caseificio Fabris is a family business now run by brothers Claudio and Roberto Fabris.
It is based in Bertiolo, in the middle of Friuli, to the South of Udine, where the brand new factory is located. It is extremely well organised: the main
productions take place in two separate areas, on the one hand the dairy where the ricotta cheese is produced, and on the other an area dedicated
to gastronomic preparations, such as frico and polenta.
What unites these two different productions, and what we like about the two Fabris brothers, is their desire to emphasise some of the most
identifiable products of their region, Friuli Venezia Giulia. A choice that speaks of history and roots, with the ability to adapt traditional productions to
market demands. We were struck by Claudio and Roberto's ability to introduce process innovation in some productions so rooted in the Friuli
region,
obtaining a modern product but one that is still able to tell the story of the territory: 'Tradition is to guard the fire, not to worship the ashes', to quote
Gustav Mahler
