WELCOME TO CASEIFICIO GELMINI
Production and commercialization of Gorgonzola
OUR STORY
The company was originally composed of two factories: the first one in Besate, handling milk processing and production still nowadays; the second one in Novara, managing the ageing process of all cheese forms before their selection, packaging and shipping.
In 2004, the Gelmini creamery was equipped with a cutting-edge structure in the maturing of Gorgonzola DOP cheese, thanks to the inauguration of the new ageing warehouse in Besate and the pre-existing production plant (opened in 1997).
