The producer
La Casara di Roncolato - Roncà (VR) - Veneto
Why we chose them
La Casara di Roncolato was founded in 1920 in the small village of Brenton, on the hills of Roncà, at the foot of the Lessini Mountains, where
Ermenegildo Roncolato was the cheesemaker of the Social Dairy. In 1964, the dairy was taken over by his son Romano and was renamed 'La
Casara'. Today, it is managed by the third generation, with Romano's children: Giovanni, Gildo, and Letizia. The Roncolato family has its roots in
Lessinia, a land dedicated to alpine pastures since 1200: gentle slopes and grassy meadows with a long growing season, which have led to the
development of a rich cheesemaking tradition. In these ancient alpine pastures, La Casara collects milk daily, which is processed in the dairy of
Roncà. Giovanni Roncolato has been a strong advocate for the revival of the Monte Veronese PDO and has supported the Monte Veronese PDO
Presidio from the beginning.
