family, tradition, dedication ABOUT US THE FAMILY The long history of Caseificio Gennari was started by Maria and Sergio in 1953 at the Villa Paveri dairy, making three cheese wheels a day. Then their children – Tino, Pietro, Rosangela and Paolo – joined the company and took over its numerous commitments: from the fields to animal husbandry, from production to ageing, up to running the shops. The grandchildren are now also involved in running an increasingly active company with an ever growing international reach. “Everyone lends a helping hand, everyone knows how to do everyone else’s job, some quietly say they are the best in the world.” LA REPUBBLICA, 2 SEPTEMBER 2009 THE TEAM TINO GENNARI takes care of the farm and cowsheds PAOLO GENNARI master cheese maker ANDREA GENNARI cutting department manager LAURA GENNARI deals with the shops OUR HISTORY 1953 The long history of Caseificio Gennari is started by Maria and Sergio, making three cheese wheels a day at the Villa Paveri dairy in Collecchio, near Parma. 1974 Move to the Collecchiello premises, with an output of 12 cheese wheels a day. 1986 Establishment of the Gennari e Barbuti farm run by Tino, thereby completing the supply chain. 1991 The Dairy is expanded and renovated, reaching an output of about 24 cheese wheels a day. 1997 The farm is expanded and the output reaches 40 wheels a day. 2003 The first shop in Parma’s old town centre is opened. 2005 The shop in Collecchio opens. 2007 The ageing rooms are expanded and the farm grows further in size. 2008 Oro Nero is produced, the new cheese of the Gennari Family, which is to become extremely successful. 2011 The Bruna Alpina Braunvieh farm is set up, joining the promotion consortium bearing the same name and production of Parmigiano Disolabruna begins. 2016 Production starts of the first wheels of organic Parmigiano Reggiano. 2017 The fully owned farm of the renowned Red Reggiana cows is established and production of Red Cow Parmigiano Reggiano starts.
