Auricchio is a renowned Italian company specializing in the production of high-quality cheese. Founded in 1877, the company has established itself as a leader in the cheese industry, particularly known for its Provolone cheese. Auricchio's products are celebrated for their traditional craftsmanship and distinctive flavors, which have been passed down through generations.

History[edit | edit source]

The origins of Auricchio date back to the late 19th century when Gennaro Auricchio began producing cheese in San Giuseppe Vesuviano, a small town near Naples, Italy. His innovative approach to cheese-making, particularly the use of a special rennet, set the foundation for the company's success. Over the years, Auricchio expanded its operations, maintaining a commitment to quality and tradition.

Products[edit | edit source]

Auricchio offers a wide range of cheese products, with Provolone being the flagship product. The company produces various types of Provolone, including:

  • Provolone Dolce: A mild and creamy cheese with a delicate flavor.
  • Provolone Piccante: A sharper, more robust cheese aged for a longer period.

In addition to Provolone, Auricchio also produces other traditional Italian cheeses, catering to diverse tastes and culinary applications.

Production Process[edit | edit source]

The production of Auricchio cheese involves a meticulous process that combines traditional methods with modern technology. The milk used in the cheese-making process is sourced from select farms, ensuring high quality. The cheese is then crafted using a unique rennet, which is a closely guarded family secret, contributing to the distinctive taste of Auricchio cheeses.

Global Presence[edit | edit source]

Auricchio has expanded its reach beyond Italy, exporting its products to various countries around the world. The company's commitment to quality and authenticity has earned it a loyal customer base internationally. Auricchio cheeses are available in specialty stores and supermarkets, bringing a taste of Italy to global consumers.
