A family tradition since 1942
In 1942 the maternal grandfather Giuseppe Cimino began work as a cheesemaker, with his gnarled hands “mozzando” (cutting off) the first mozzarellas, producing them with one of the finest milks, from the buffalo of the Piana del Sele. Driven by the desire to learn the art of cheesemaking and follow in his father-in-law’s footsteps, Gennaro also began, as a young man, to get involved in the family business and, in the 1980s, took over in order to bring it in line with the new market conditions.
