Azienda Agricola Balestre di De Stanchina C. e G. e Miglioli

In Calvisano, in the lower Brescia area, Azienda Agricola Balestre di De Stanchina is part of the vast geography of Grana Padano DOP, a denomination covering 3,431 municipalities in northern Italy. Here, milk is transformed into cheese using cooked paste techniques, in blocks weighing 24 to 40 kilos destined for long months of slow maturation. Time, more than any other factor, is at work in this hard cheese: aging concentrates the aromas and builds the granular structure that gives the paste its name. The result is a product with a dual vocation, complex when served in flakes and equally convincing when grated over a risotto or soup. The company operates within a dairy code shared by thousands of producers in the Po Valley, contributing its own cheeses to a collective heritage that owes its identity to the patient repetition of gestures and fidelity to a consolidated method in the Lombard plain.
