Accetto Cookie Policy French English Deutsch Italiano The company was founded in the late 1930s by Luigi and Federico Mantegazza from a small dairy in Caidate di Sumirago (VARESE). Using a horse-drawn cart, they collected milk from the area to make cream cheese and butter which they sold in the surrounding area. Just after the war, to meet the demands for new products, they enriched their production with other cheeses. The clientele gradually increased and in 1955 they opened a store in Varese, abandoning the processing of milk to devote themselves to marketing and importing (at that time the products arrived from abroad by train). “Il pallino di Luigi” was the range of products like Gorgonzola, Grana, Taleggio and Swiss cheeses that Luigi, the purchasing agent, would personally choose. In the 60s Luigi took care of the management of the company with his sons Dante and Alberto, then in 1985 they moved to Lozza in a new store of almost 1800 m², of which 900 were intended for cold rooms and air-conditioned premises for refining: ready to meet new market requirements, the company has set up a packaging line to meet all present and future requirements. Work continued to increase: to traditional cheeses were added various specialties and quality cold meats… in short, a market ready to welcome new products. Today, a dynamic team of agents allows us to reach all points of sale in Italy but requests also come from Europe and America: we currently serve more than 1000 customers, with weekly or bi-weekly services following the requirements.
