Who we are“When I was little I watched my grandparents.

They came from the country and they were good at cultivating the land, taking care of the grain, making good bread and good pasta: they had good hands!

…raising cows, producing good milk, good cheese: they had golden hands! *They were good at tending their vegetable garden, at cultivating lettuce, tomato…

that was gold too!Now that I’m an adult, I only have strong memories of that genuine world which

demanded so much effort. And when I look back with nostalgia to those skilled hands and how the earth and man were one, I realize that the uniqueness of those flavors

is indelibly imprinted on my mind…

…in honor of those who have dedicated their lives to hard work”

* Golden hand (Mano d’Oro in Italian language) means: to have great manual skills

It is a product of superior quality, extremely hard to find, and with different qualities than the traditional Parmigiano-Reggiano. This cheese is straw-coloured and not white, especially during the summer months. The internal mass is granulated and breaks into flakes. The aroma and taste are very particular. This cheese is sweet and flavourful without being spicy, even after having aged long (32-36 months), exactly as the original Parmigiano-Reggiano used to be.The minimum aging is 24 months, while for the traditional Parmigiano-Reggiano is 12 months.
