Every year, our fields produce enough fodder to make 50,000 hay bales, plenty to provide a healthy, balanced diet for our 5,000 cows. The 20 million litres of milk they produce every year is used exclusively in the production of our Parmigiano Reggiano and butter.

Our cowsheds are home to nearly 5,000 dairy cows of two different breeds: Jersey and Frisona. They are reared on fodder grown in Ferrarini’s 1200-hectare (3,000-acre) farmlands and stored in our barns. The diet and health of our cows are constantly monitored by our vets, through daily checks and precise feeding plans.

The combination of classic Frisona cow’s milk and its fattier, creamier Jersey counterpart gives our Parmigiano Reggiano PDO cheese its subtle, distinctive flavor.

Our cows produce over 600 quintals litres of milk every day. The milk is then delivered to our two creameries, both of which are within 15 km of our farms, keeping the environmental impact to a minimum.

Over 100 cheeses are produced every day in our two Ferrarini creameries. These are located in the heart of the Emilian hills, in Puianello (Reggio Emilia) and Castelnuovo Monti, in the Reggiano Apennines.

Ferrarini Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is produced exclusively using milk from our own cows, which are reared on fodder grown on our own farms. Thanks to certified quality control systems, Ferrarini can monitor the entire production chain. This, together with the experience of our cheese makers, gives Ferrarini Parmigiano Reggiano its unique, exclusive flavour. We are also able to offer a selection of GMO-free Parmigiano Reggiano and GMO-free butter, produced with milk obtained from a breeding process that uses no genetically modified foodstuffs.
