Pratichiera Dairy - A Natural History

FORAGE
The cows that produce milk on our farm are fed cheeses produced on the farm. The animals' diet is carefully monitored in compliance with regulations that prohibit the use of silage, fermented feed, and animal-based meals.
MILKING
Our cows are milked twice a day. The milk produced is delivered immediately, without any heat treatment, to our dairy located just a few meters from the farm.
THE PRODUCTION
Cheese production at Caseificio Pratichiera is exclusively artisanal, entrusted to the loving care of the master cheesemaker who carefully oversees every stage.
SALTING
A few days after production, the cheeses are immersed in brine for about 20 days, allowing them to be preserved for a long time, even over 100 months. The salt content remains less than 1.6%.
SEASONING
Finally, the cheeses from Caseificio Pratichiera are aged for over 12 months, after which each individual cheese is inspected and certified. From then on, only time takes over, allowing the aromas to evolve, imparting distinct flavors and aromas over the course of approximately six months of aging.

The highest quality products, from cheeses to cured meats. You have to try them. We went directly to the store where we were greeted by the owner, who was kind and explained the variety of cheeses and cured meats to us with a tone of love for his work. Well done! 👏

I had the opportunity to visit this dairy in 2009 and meet the family who owns it, and I can say it was a very positive experience. For 13 years, the Parmesan I've eaten has come exclusively from this farm, a testament to its excellent quality.
