The Dairy

A controlled production,
from the supply chain to PDO quality

Every day Ferrarini & Bonetti carefully oversees every stage of Parmigiano Reggiano PDO production: from feeding the cows with fresh local forage and the quality of the raw milk, through to slow natural aging — from over 12 months up to 90 months — and the PDO stamp by the Consortium on every single wheel. An integrated, transparent supply chain — from farm to dairy — ensuring authenticity, traceability and the highest respect for Parma’s cheesemaking tradition.

The Raw Material

Our herd — over 600 head of cattle — is fed exclusively on crops and forage grown on our own land, ensuring a dairy production of the highest quality.

The Supply Chain

An integrated system that controls every stage of production, from the land and forage through to the final product, enhancing the territory and the continuity of quality.

The Production

The master cheesemaker’s expertise, the result of a tradition handed down through generations, is decisive in the transformation of milk into Parmigiano Reggiano.

The Aging

A long wait in our warehouses, where over 60,000 wheels rest slowly until they develop structure, aroma and character.

DOP Quality

Only wheels that pass the Consortium’s rigorous inspections receive the PDO mark: the guarantee of Italian excellence recognised worldwide.

Our roots

A family story

From the dream of Silvestro Ferrarini and Liliana Bonetti was born a journey built on daily dedication, love for the land and a genuine commitment to quality. A legacy that continues to this day, together.

World Cheese Awards

Parmigiano Reggiano awarded
at the World Cheese Awards

From 2023 to 2026, Ferrarini & Bonetti PDO Parmigiano Reggiano has won 5 consecutive medals at the World Cheese Awards — the world’s most prestigious international cheese competition, featuring over 4,000 cheeses from 40 countries and a jury of more than 260 experts including affineurs, Michelin-starred chefs and food journalists. A recognition that rewards not just the final product, but the entire artisan production chain: from the milk collected each morning at our farm in Montechiarugolo, Parma, to the slow aging in our maturing rooms, certified PDO by the Consortium.

Three consecutive years of awards — including Gold, Silver and Bronze medals for agings ranging from 18 to over 40 months — confirm that the quality of our Parma dairy is not a one-off achievement but a consistent standard, verified annually by an independent international jury. Our 40-month aging won the coveted Gold medal 2024–2025, the highest distinction awarded by the World Cheese Awards.
