 About the Brand

The birth of the company dates back to 1823: in the middle of the Po Valley, the richest land in milk of Italy, was born a small dairy factory. At that time, it was impossible for producers to carry or conserve the milk, and it was mainly laboured in big farms or transformed into butter, mascarpone and hard cheese commonly called “grana”. That was the way by which the dairy farmers living in Lodi and its proximity started learning the art of producing cheese. Peppino Rossi cherished this tradition and decided to buy out the dairy factory. He grasped the importance of the brands and started with the production of ” Burro Regina”, a high quality butter. With his speciality and other products, Silvio Ferrari, Peppino’s nephew, crossed Lombardy’s borders and his products even reached the “far” Naples. After the Second World War, the local production was then accompanied by imported foreign cheese.
