Caseificio Sociale Val Tidone Soc. Agr. Coop.

The Caseificio Sociale Val Tidone, a cooperative based in Borgonovo Val Tidone, operates within Italy's largest cheese denomination: Grana Padano DOP, whose production area spans 3,431 municipalities. The facility transforms milk into 24 to 40-kilogram wheels, a cooked-paste cheese destined for slow maturation, conducted according to established techniques. The cooperative and social nature of this Piacenza-based entity is part of its story: behind every wheel lies a collective contribution of milk and a shared commitment to the standards of the protected denomination. The result is a product with a dual purpose, suitable for both table cutting and grating, found on Italian and international tables. Within such a broad denomination, the contribution of a single social dairy measures the distance between the enormous number of municipalities involved and the concrete, daily act of those who work a handful of wheels at a time, within the perimeter of a single shared set of regulations.
