MATURING: A PATH TO EXCELLENCE
The maturing and refining warehouses are perfectly insulated and equipped with sophisticated air conditioning systems for the maintenance of humidity and temperatures, suitable for the seasoning and refinement of all specialties that require a particular aging.
Maturing, which can last from a few weeks and extend to over two years, is done respecting the minimum scheduled times for the turning-over and cleaning of the wheels, and includes strict quality controls during the entire process. In order to determine the consistency and homogeneity of the interior of the cheese, the wheels are tapped one by one and are then branded or selected to continue ageing and become part of the Oro del Tempo selection.

The portioning and packaging centres are equipped with state-of-the-art technologies for the perfect hygienic and organoleptic storage of the cheeses. The center of Sommacampagna, divided into two separate areas, is equipped with the latest automated machines which meet the most stringent hygiene-health standards required for food facilities by HACCP analysis and by international quality standards. In particular, all packaging lines are controlled by metal detectors.

This is where the product is packaged in a protective atmosphere inside heat-sealed bags which are able to maintain the product’s moisture, fragrance and freshness. The production line starts with whole, clean and scraped wheels which are grated and are then packaged in polyester and polythene bags; besides grating, these packaging lines also package other formats without the rind: cubes and slivers; Two additional lines are dedicated to the packaging of small blocks in protected atmosphere bags and cubes in thermoformed tubs.
