The history of the 4 Madonne Caseificio dell’Emilia starts a long time ago. The Dairy was built in 1967 by a group of breeders in the area and since its inception it was considered futuristic due to the structural design dimensions of the time.
The 4 Madonne Caseificio dell’Emilia takes its name from a votive pillar, not far from the current site, which depicts the Virgin Mary on the four sides of the majesty. Over the decades, the dairy has steadily increased its membership base and the quantity of milk supplied by its members.
Over the past 15 years, 4 Madonne Caseificio dell’Emilia has increased its productivity and expanded through the acquisition of other cooperatives in the area.
Since 2013, thanks to the latest merger with the Arceto and Varana dairies, we have also been producing Parmigiano Reggiano - Mountain product, Organic Parmigiano Reggiano and Red Cow Parmigiano Reggiano.
Currently the 4 Madonne Caseificio dell’Emilia is the only one of about 335 of the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese consortium that produces in four factories located in the provinces of Modena and Reggio Emilia and has over 40 employees.
On a territorial level, the 4 Madonne Caseificio dell’Emilia is considered one of the most important cooperatives in the entire area; the percentage of Parmigiano Reggiano branded cheese remains constantly between 96% and 100% of production and this makes it possible to liquidate the milk of its members at the best prices.
After the latest changes due to the incorporation of the Monchio di Palagano Dairy and the restructuring of the Lesignana factory, the 4 Madonne Caseificio dell'Emilia boasts a daily production ranging from 160 to 200 wheels and an annual production ranging from 60,000 to 70,000. forms
