About Carozzi
Carozzi Formaggi is a distinguished Italian family cheese producer from the Valsassina region, crafting award-winning Gorgonzola DOP and other Lombardy cheeses for over 60 years. Founded in 1960 by Aldo Carozzi, the company is now in its third generation, managed by Roberto and Donata along with their children Vera, Aldo, and Marco. Based in Pasturo, nestled between Lake Lecco and the characteristic Grigna mountain, Carozzi benefits from unique microclimatic conditions that are ideal for cheese aging. The Valsassina valley has long been renowned as a cradle of Italian cheesemaking, and Carozzi has become one of its most respected names. Their modern facility in Pasturo combines cutting-edge technology with traditional artisanal expertise, particularly in the aging of washed-rind cheeses. Carozzi's master cheesemaker Marco Carozzi oversees the production, creating modern reinterpretations of Valsassina's dairy art. The company specialises in aging all the great Lombardy PDOs including Gorgonzola, Taleggio, and Quartirolo. Their Gorgonzola DOP Selection, made exclusively from whole cow's milk, undergoes a minimum 90-day aging process with multiple piercings to develop the characteristic green mold veins and distinctively sweet flavour profile. Recognition of Carozzi's quality came with a Gold medal at the 2023 Italian Cheese Awards for their Gorgonzola DOP Selezione. In the UK, Carozzi offers both Classic (Dolce/sweet) and Piccante (spicy/aged) Gorgonzola DOP varieties, providing authentic Italian blue cheese for discerning British cheese lovers.
