ABOUT US
The love for milk is a family tradition handed down from grandfather Antonino, native of Piano di Sorrento, who in 1968 with his first dairy founded in Alvignano, began the art of turning milk into dairy specialties of his land. The new company “Lattai Ponticorvo”, a project by the master dairyman Luca Ponticorvo and his son Antonino, comes from the experience of three generations of master dairymen. We are the heirs of this magical alchemy that in a few steps creates perfumed and nourishing cheeses from the milk, tasty for the palate and with excellent nutritional properties. Every day we work to improve our dairy products by perfecting production techniques, always respecting the craftsmanship and genuineness of the raw materials.
The ancient gestures handed down in the Ponticorvo family for three generations are the real plus of the Lattai Ponticorvo project. The craftsmanship of us dairymen complies with the time of tradition, respecting the processing phases of buffalo mozzarella, from filtering to curdling up to spinning in the wooden tub and hand-cutting. In respect of genuineness, for the maturation of the products, we use only starter whey, without the addition of chemical leavening agents. Among the main typical features of our processing, for products such as “fior di latte” and “pasta filata cheeses”, we adopt a natural ripening method, without the addition of any substance, not even starter whey, and the curd is left to rest at room temperature and processed the day following once the right point of maturation has been reached.
Today, thanks to our long experience, we continue our production and export of dairy products also abroad with the tested cold chain, which allows us to ship high quality products, frozen at -40 ° C, on the same day of production, or to satisfy the most demanding customers who wish to receive fresh products more quickly.
48 years of experience, three generations of dairymen, PDO production and national and international distribution; these are some of our strengths that will make you appreciate our company.
