Accetto Cookie Policy German English Français Italiano The company was founded in the late 1930s when Luigi and Federico Mantegazza founded a dairy in Caidate di Sumirago (VA). With a horse and cart they collected the milk in the area and turned it into cream cheese and butter, which they then sold in the area. Immediately after the war, the demand for new products began, and so other cheeses were added to the existing ones. The clientele grew steadily, and in 1955 the brothers opened a warehouse in Varese, gave up milk processing and devoted themselves entirely to the distribution and import business (at that time the cheese was still coming from abroad by train). “Il pallino di Luigi”, who took care of the shopping, was the first line of products such as Gorgonzola, Grana, Taleggio and Swiss cheese that he selected himself on site. In the 1960s, Luigi introduced his sons Dante and Alberto to the management. In 1985 the company moved to Lozza to a new warehouse of around 1800 m², 900 of them for the cold rooms and the air-conditioned area for the maturing: The company was ready for the new market requirements and also put a packaging line into operation to be able to serve customers in the best possible way in the years to come. The work continued and increased: various specialties and quality sausages were added to the traditional cheeses, because the market demanded new products. Today, a dynamic team of sales representatives enables us to reach every point of sale in Italy, but the inquiries also come from Europe and America: at the moment more than 1000 customers are supplied once or twice a week, depending on their needs.
