COLLINE DI CANOSSA

Colline di Canossa traces its roots to 1939 as a cooperative dairy in Carpineti, high in the Reggio Emilia Apennines. At 600 metres above sea level, it qualifies as a mountain cheesemaking facility—a designation reflecting the altitude's influence on milk composition and cheese character. Today it stands as the largest dairy in its mountain zone, producing 172 wheels daily. Every form meets the rigorous Parmigiano Reggiano DOP standard: raw cow's milk transformed through slow maturation into hard, flaky wheels aged a minimum of twelve months. Visitors can observe the craft firsthand.
