Welcome to a place where the passion for cheese is intertwined with the love for Valsassina, creating a magical atmosphere where every taste is an emotion to be cherished in the heart.

From Carozzi - Cheese farm with kitchen, located among the lush Grigne that are reflected on the mirror of Lake Como, it is the ideal place to immerse yourself in the rich dairy culture, taste the authentic products of the evergreen Valsassina and be surprised by the creativity of our Chefs

For generations, the Carozzi family has been passionately dedicated to the creation of artisanal cheeses, rooted in the deep traditions of Valsassina.

Our cheeses are made by the skilled hands of the master cheesemaker, Marco Carozzi, who follows with dedication the ancient techniques handed down from generation to generation.
Each cheese is produced with care and attention, preserving the distinctive aromas and flavours that characterise Valsassina. 

Among the specialties we find Taleggio DOP and the refined Gorgonzola DOP, authentic symbols of quality and tradition.

Carozzi Formaggi represents our love for the region, the valorisation of deep roots and our commitment to preserving the ancient dairy traditions.
