The Cantarelli family of Sant’Ilario d’Enza were the first to export to South America and the United States, between the 1800s and 1900s, thanks to the intuition of Massimiliano and his son, who made the first major contribution to opening up to foreign markets.
Between 1950 and 1980, the foresight of Bruno Cantarelli, who combined commercial skill, in-depth knowledge of the territory and expertise in cheese selection, led the company to grow further abroad as well as in Italy.
Today, still at its original location, the company is run by his son Massimiliano, who, together with his sons – the sixth generation – stands as a testament to one of the longest-running companies in Italy.
After almost 150 years, the presence of the Cantarelli family guarantees, just as it did back then, the chance to taste a product that is excellent in every respect, rich in original aromas and scents, thanks to the special aging that has always taken place in our stone warehouses built in the late 1800s.
