CASEIFICIO SOCIALE SAN GIOVANNI BATTISTA

Caseificio Sociale San Giovanni Battista operates in Neviano degli Arduini, on the first hills of the Parma area, within the one hundred and thirty-three municipalities that define the recognized zone of Parmigiano Reggiano DOP. As the denomination dictates, the cooperative starts with raw cow's milk and transforms it into hard, cooked cheese wheels, which are then entrusted to a slow aging process that does not fall below twelve months. It is during this minimum time that the cheese builds its fine, flaky structure, the crumbly grain, and the concentrated aromas, wheel after wheel. The cheesemaking craft, repeated daily according to established practice, is as important here as the raw material: one without the other is not enough. The result is a Parmigiano Reggiano of marked character, readable as an expression of a circumscribed territory and a craft that the regulations codify but do not exhaust. More than a product, the wheel is the result of a cooperative supply chain that brings together breeders, milk, and patience.
