Auricchio

Auricchio is a renowned Italian cheese brand, best known for its production of Provolone cheese.

Today, Auricchio S.p.A. is one of the largest cheese producers in Italy, with a wide range of products exported to various countries worldwide.

History

The Auricchio company was founded by Gennaro Auricchio, who developed a special "secret" recipe for Provolone cheese that is still used by the company today. The business started as a small family operation but quickly grew in popularity due to the unique taste of its Provolone.

In the 1900s, the company expanded its operations and began exporting its products to the United States and other countries. Today, Auricchio cheeses are enjoyed by consumers worldwide, and the company continues to innovate with new products and cheese varieties.

Products

Auricchio produces a wide range of cheeses, with Provolone being the most famous. The company's product line includes various types of Italian cheese, such as Parmigiano Reggiano, Gorgonzola, and Mozzarella. Each cheese is made using traditional Italian methods, ensuring a high-quality and authentic taste.

Provolone

Provolone is a semi-hard Italian cheese. The Auricchio brand's Provolone is particularly well-known for its distinctive, sharp flavor, which is a result of the company's secret recipe. It is often used in cooking, especially in baked pasta dishes, and is also enjoyed on its own or with bread.
