| Our dairy has one of the most modern production plants in line with the regulations in force and the highest qualitative standards; and its warehouse for the storage of the product boasts exceptional features. Over the years our dairy has been the reference point for hundreds of producers, also creating revenue and jobs. It has also provided continuity and guarantee in terms of work for many small farms dedicated to cattle breeding and to the production of milk to be transformed into Parmigiano Reggiano. The volume of work of the dairy has constantly increased, as well as its attention to product quality, in fact it was one of the first dairies in our province to be awarded certification according to UNI EN ISO 9002 standards. |
