CASEIFICIO LA MADONNINA

Caseificio La Madonnina is located in Salsomaggiore Terme, within the Parmigiano Reggiano production area, which encompasses one hundred and thirty-three municipalities. Here, raw milk becomes a Denominazione di Origine Protetta cheese following a procedure that allows no acceleration: slow maturation and discipline, at least twelve months for the wheels to acquire the fine-grained, flaky structure that makes them recognizable. It is a work of precision and patience, where regulatory guidelines and the cheesemaker's craft meet to define one of Italy's most famous hard cheeses. Nothing is left to chance, from the temperature of the cauldron to the selection of wheels destined for further aging. The dairy welcomes visitors and tasters, who can directly observe the morning processing stages and witness the moment when the still-warm milk begins its long transformation. Those who stop by take with them not only a taste, but also an understanding of how much time separates milking from the finished wheel.
