Caseificio Sociale Monte Ozolo S.C.A.

In Novella, in the province of Trento, Caseificio Sociale Monte Ozolo places its work within the long chain of Alpine dairy cooperation. Here, Grana Padano DOP is not the product of a single farm but a collective outcome: milk collected from a vast authorized area, touching 3,431 municipalities, converges in the vats and takes the form of cooked-curd wheels weighing between 24 and 40 kilograms. The character of the cheese depends on this volume. Slow maturation works the structure of the cow's milk cheese, dissolving fat and concentrating flavors to define the granular texture that gives the denomination its name. It's a cheese with a dual purpose: it can be broken into flakes for a dry tasting experience or grated, entering everyday cooking as well as more elaborate preparations. The cooperative dimension, more than a management detail, explains the consistency: many hands and many farms converge into a single standard, recognizable wheel after wheel.
