Manufacturer Information:

The company was founded at the end of the 19th century in Bergamo, Italy, by Guido Zanetti, known for his expertise in cheese "ripening" technology. By 1940 he had established himself as the leading maturer for the region's Grana cheeses, distinguished by their firm and grainy structure. In 1946, the company started industrial production for the first time and 2 years later began exporting its products. After more than a century of history, today Zanetti is the world market leader in Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano.

Technology:

It is produced only in the Emilia-Romagna region and is made from milk obtained from cows fed exclusively on hay and grass. There are different ripening levels and the milk is processed at 3am the day after it is produced. The cheese wheels are then left in brine for 21 days before being transferred for maturation of 12 and 30 months.
