Caseificio Taddei is located in Fornovo San Giovanni, a small town in the plains south of Bergamo.
It was 1885 when the great-grandfather Giandomenico decided to start a business that would eventually become a family tradition.
This dairy business, over the years, has specialized in the production and ageing of cheeses tied to the local tradition, continuing to promote artisan-like processes that have always represented the company’s added value.
In 1986, Massimo embarked on his adventure. After completing his studies and working for some time at another company, he decided to buy the dairy and continue the production of Taleggio cheese which, at that time, was sold fresh to the agers.
The first major change occurred in 1994, when the new dairy was built, in perfect compliance with both health and hygiene regulations passed by the European Community and with the needs of a constantly growing organization.
In this new facility, innovative in terms of materials and equipment, it was nevertheless decided, as per tradition, to continue to carry out the cheese-making process by hand.
In a larger and certainly more well-organized space, the production of other cheeses was also started, always tied to Bergamo’s territory.
Observance of the rules was crucial, and the company self-regulation plan was constantly implemented. Nothing was allowed, modern and ancient came together in perfect balance.
The year 1998 marked the second major change: it was decided to age the company’s products, to reach the final market with the Taddei brand and thus manage the entire production cycle.
This constant growth was characterized by acknowledgements that awarded the company’s commitment and the choice to make quality products.
In 2022, the third major change with the sale of the company shares to Dr. Carlo Mangoni, who becomes the new owner of the company, while maintaining the continuity and working philosophy proper to this dairy business.
