Cheeses by Italian Province
Auricchio cheese has a rich and fascinating history in Italy, dating back to 1877. Here's a brief overview:
Origins: The story begins with Gennaro Auricchio, who founded the company in San Giuseppe Vesuviano, near Naples. He created a special rennet that gave his Provolone cheese a unique and unmistakable flavor[1][2]. Expansion: By the end of the 19th century, Auricchio Provolone had established itself both in Italy and abroad. To meet the growing demand and address milk shortages in Campania, the company expanded to the Padana Plain, particularly Cremona, where they found abundant dairy cattle[1][2]. International Reach: Auricchio Provolone crossed the ocean with Italian migrants, becoming a symbol of their homeland in the United States, especially in Little Italy[1][2]. Modernization: In 1949, the company moved its headquarters to Cremona and concentrated production at the factory in Pieve San Giacomo. Despite economic challenges in 1992, the Auricchio family regained full control of the company and continued to grow through acquisitions[1][2]. Today, Auricchio is renowned for its Provolone and other dairy products, maintaining a legacy of quality and craftsmanship[1][2]. Do you enjoy Italian cheeses?

BelGioioso Cheese has a rich history that began over a century ago in Italy. The company's roots trace back to the great-grandfather of BelGioioso President, Errico Auricchio, who founded a cheese company based on a philosophy of excellence. In 1979, Errico moved his family from Italy to the United States with the goal of continuing his great-grandfather’s legacy by crafting the best Italian cheeses in America[1][2].
Errico chose Wisconsin, known as "America's Dairyland," for its high-quality milk and dedicated farmers. He started the company in Denmark, Wisconsin, where he produced his first cheese, provolone, in a rented cheese plant[2]. Over time, BelGioioso expanded its product line to include a variety of specialty cheeses such as Mascarpone, CreamyGorg®, Italico®, and American Grana®[1]. Today, BelGioioso operates multiple manufacturing facilities in Wisconsin and produces over twenty-five varieties of cheese. The company remains committed to tradition, quality, and the artisan methods passed down through generations[1][2]. Do you have a favorite type of cheese from BelGioioso?
