Azienda Agricola Gritti: a story of breeders and innovation

At its origins in the '50s and '60s, the focus of the activity was based on the cultivation of agricultural lands; in 2000, a turning point occurred that led to innovating the primary idea, that is, enriching it with the breeding of Mediterranean buffaloes for the production of new cheeses, maintaining the propensity for innovation, attachment to the Bergamasca territory, and tradition.
In these years of passionate work, they have raised and fed the buffaloes professionally, developing milk processing according to traditional standards.
They raise a herd of a thousand Mediterranean buffaloes, of which 320 are dedicated to milk production. The breeding is directly managed by Alfio Gritti, a partner of the company and a highly experienced and professional veterinarian. The buffaloes follow a controlled diet, specifically designed to ensure their excellent health, thanks to forages produced on-site. Milking takes place in a quiet and peaceful environment, allowing the animals to experience milking with serenity. The milking room is directly connected to the dairy: the freshly milked milk, except for that destined for raw milk products, thus begins the pasteurization process.
The typical sweet taste of buffalo milk, which characterizes it compared to cow's milk, gives its derivatives a distinguishable flavor that, thanks to the technical skill and artisanal knowledge of the master cheesemakers, makes buffalo cheeses unimitable.

The Gritti company offers us the opportunity to taste its cheeses and participate with them in the continuation of its story, thus closing the virtuous process of its supply chain.
