CASEIFICIO SOCIALE PALAZZO

In Roccabianca, on the plains of the lower Parma area, Caseificio Sociale Palazzo operates in a closed-loop system centered around a single denomination: Parmigiano Reggiano DOP. The facility is supplied exclusively by its own milk, from cattle fed according to traditional protocols that support the microbial complexity essential for raw milk production. The work here is entirely about the synchronicity between farming and transformation, handed down through generations: the quality of the forage, the rhythm of milking, and the care in the vat all converge into wheels that age for at least twelve months. It is during this time that the granular and crumbly structure matures, along with the fragrance and solubility that distinguish the cheese from homogeneous productions. The denomination encompasses 133 municipalities, but the closed-loop system narrows the scope to a single milk source, that of the cooperative farm, and makes it a marker of identity. Each wheel is thus the result of a short, controlled supply chain, where nothing comes from outside and every phase adheres to the raw milk production specifications (Disciplinare).
