The Revenge of Italian Cheese

For a period of time, it seemed that the economies of the two most important Italian cheeses, Grana Padano DOP and Parmigiano Reggiano DOP, were headed for an uncontrollable crisis.
Particularly for Parmigiano Reggiano DOP, the data on milk overproduction and international economic conditions seemed to be particularly penalizing. The domestic market, in fact, showed a significant decline. As in many other cases, in order to withstand the impact, the Made in Italy product would have had to show positive performance, especially abroad.

However, the data seemed contradictory, also due to the Russian financial collapse, which represents one of the most interesting markets due to its evolution in recent years. Now the figures for the first 11 months of 2014 have arrived, and the data is instead reassuring. According to the Consortium, exports grew by 2.5% for Parmigiano Reggiano DOP and 3% for Grana Padano DOP.
The number of wheels sold internationally amounts to 1.6 million. Approximately 20,000 from the Russian market are missing.

Question: And what if all the counterfeit products on the market were eliminated? Unfortunately, this is a crime that continues and does not receive the proper attention from European authorities.

In Italy, the data also shows a recovery in consumption, which is expected to stabilize by mid-year.

At Spaghetti & Mandolino, we have decided to strengthen the presence of these two great Italian DOP cheeses by partnering with more selectors in the dairy sector. Different sources to offer a wide range of choices and, above all, the right product for every situation, from everyday use to Slow Food presidia. We, too, are contributing to Italian dairy products and high-quality Made in Italy!
