The producer

Carozzi Formaggi - Pasturo (LC) - Lombardy

Why we chose them
Valsassina, nestled between Lake Lecco and the characteristic Grigna, offers unique microclimatic conditions ideal for cheese production. 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 managed by Roberto and Donata along with their three children: Vera, Aldo, and Marco. Carozzi passionately combines the skill of cheesemakers with the most modern technology. In their new facility in Pasturo, Lecco, within a modern environment, human expertise remains irreplaceable in the aging of washed-rind cheeses, the company's primary activity. With a focus on quality, Carozzi ages all the great Lombardy PDOs like Gorgonzola, Taleggio, and Quartirolo. But that's not all. New ideas from the younger generation have led to new projects and products: from fresh goat cheeses to bloomy rinds, and even creamy cheeses.
