The family estate behind our aged cheeses
Our Grana Padano and Hard Italian Cheese share a family-owned farm-to-cheese story, from clover fields and milking to cheesemaking and ageing.
Clover grown on the estate feeds the family-owned herd.
Around 2,000 cows here, plus 1,000 on adjoining family-owned farms.
Milking takes place here on the estate.
The milk becomes cheese on the same estate.
Our cheese matures in the estate's own cellars.
A family farm. A place to call home.
The estate is family-owned, and all farm employees live on the farm.
The family-owned group behind our aged cheeses reports producing more renewable electricity than the entire group consumes. Biogas and solar power generate electricity, with surplus supplied to the grid.
Concept scene; not a photograph of the producer’s actual estate.
Producer-reported, group-level information for our aged-cheese supply chain, not the entire Cosmo Food range. Reporting period and current energy-balance figures remain subject to confirmation.
This describes the producer group's electricity generation and resource-recovery practices. It is not a Net Zero, carbon-credit, product carbon-footprint or packaging-recyclability claim.
