Our Story
Cheesemakers since 1920
Our history has its roots in the early decades of the 20th century, when Angelo, a young and passionate man, began working as an apprentice cheesemaker at a dairy in Fontevivo (PR). Through dedication and sacrifice, he developed the skill necessary to independently produce authentic Parmigiano Reggiano.
Children follow in the footsteps
Over the years, his sons Guido and Aidano joined him, sharing the same passion for the art of cheesemaking. Those were the days when everything was done by hand: from processing the milk to transporting the cheeses by horse-drawn carriage.
The Colombarola
When Guido married Ubaldina, he dreamed of opening his own dairy. The opportunity arose in 1952 with the sale of the “La Colombarola” farm located in the municipality of Noceto (Parma). Thanks to the help of their parents and the investment of all their family savings, they were able to purchase it. From there, their business began, founded on passion, sacrifice, and love for the Parmigiano Reggiano tradition.
Growing reality
Their sons, Leonardo and Pierangelo, grew up surrounded by the scent of milk and steaming boilers, learning from an early age the secrets of artisanal production and the importance of building a direct and sincere relationship with customers.
The tradition continues
Today, they are the ones who preserve and pass on this legacy, continuing to produce with the same passion and respect for tradition that has made our Parmigiano Reggiano unique for over a century.
Parma Art
The province of Parma, and particularly the town of Noceto, preserves a centuries-old cheesemaking tradition that has made Parmigiano Reggiano DOP famous worldwide. In this unique setting, the “La Colombarola” farm stood centuries ago, becoming our headquarters in the mid-twentieth century. The main building, now an integral part of the town, has undergone several transformations over the course of its history: from a brickyard to a farm, and finally to an artisanal cheese factory dedicated to the production of Parmigiano Reggiano. Each adaptation has strengthened the bond with the local area, keeping alive the tradition and authenticity that characterize our work.
