The alpine pasture productions or, at least, those safeguarding the artisan traditions, stand out amongst the variety of products on offer which, by now, are of qualities ranging from very to less good. Made with full fat, raw, cow’s milk.

It all began with one Gorgonzola cheese and an abandoned silver mine in Valganna, 60 km North-West of Milan. In 1876, Luigi Guffanti took the cheese to mature inside the mine, where the temperature and humidity were constant all year round. Five generations later, the Guffanti-Fiori family is still renowned-known for its attention to artisanal-quality products and passion for the ageing process.
