In the late 19th century
The history of the Consortium properly began in the year 1800, when some of our fellow countrymen, as well as the experts who asked, learned about the abundance of milk produced in the north of Italy for a very long time. Benefitting first and foremost from the recognized quality of the raw material, they used the numerous processing techniques consolidated over the years to create a queso of hilada pasta good and unique in its variety.
Over the years the shapes of this Provolone have changed, as have the dimensions that used to create even a quintal.
