The producer
Caseificio Tosi - Gattico (NO) - Piedmont
Why we chose them
Caseificio Tosi has been founded in the '60 by Santino Tosi which used to produce only cheeses for his shop. During the '80 he gets helped by his
son Fabrizio and production became more and more oriented to Gorgonzola cheese; maturation cellars came 10 years later. The decisive
turnaround
happened approximately 10 years ago when also Santino's daughter, Miranda, entered the company. She is now running the business with her
brother Fabrizio and her husband Andrea. Caseificio Tosi is one of the smallest producers of Gorgonzola DOP Consortium and still today produces
according to tradition: the milk they process originates from Maggiore and Orta lakes area; every day they produce 300 wheels only using hands
and
man labour; then maturation lasts from 90 to 160 days on wooden shelves.
