In the heart of the Po Valley in Lombardy, in Lodi, the story of Pozzali Lodigrana begins. It is here that in 1947 three young brothers decide to embark on a venture in the dairy sector and become entrepreneurs. Their family has always been tied to agriculture and the land, and they decide to carry on this bond in their own way.
From Lodigrana to Bella Lodi: the story of a passion
Initially, the brothers set up their first dairy within their father's farming business, and it is here that they begin to process the milk, a product of their own production and that of some farms in the surrounding area. Immediately, the dairy enjoys great success.
About ten years later, in 1958, the second-born Giovanni Pozzali inaugurates the new dairy in Casaletto Ceredano, in the province of Cremona, just a few kilometers from Lodi. In the 1990s, the company, which has since become Lodigrana, grows and diversifies, gaining more and more experience and importance. In fact, the dairy perfects its food technology, which allows it to ensure quality and hygiene.
Lodigrana grows until it launches the dairy specialty that translates this family story into flavor: Bella Lodi, a sincere tribute to the millennial past of the Lodi land. After innovations and expansions, the plant excels in the Italian dairy sector.
The excellence of the Bella Lodi supply chain
The cornerstone that distinguishes Bella Lodi is precisely the tradition. The cheeses produced have a strong connection to the past, both for certain exterior characteristics and for the method of processing. The primary goal has always been quality: the milk is the essential ingredient for their products and is monitored year-round.
The verification includes the diet of the breeders' cattle, their health, well-being, and the transport conditions of the cheeses from the place of production to the consumers' table. If tradition is important, innovation is equally important. Keeping pace with times and technologies has allowed Bella Lodi to excel in quality, with the highest international certifications it has obtained, such as those from the British Retail Consortium, International Food Standard, and SGS.
Innovation has also allowed it to evolve towards sustainability: the packaging is 100% compostable and 100% recyclable, thus respecting the environment and addressing the needs of our planet.
Bella Lodi: lactose-free cheese
The certified natural absence of lactose is another innovative step that makes the Bella Lodi dairy even more revolutionary (here you can find all the lactose-free cheeses).
With a strong but never overpowering flavor, Bella Lodi is ideal for enhancing first courses, salads, carpaccios, and traditional Italian recipes. Perfect grated on fresh pasta, risottos, or soups, it is also excellent in flakes, accompanied by honey, mustards, or structured red wines.
A gourmet idea? Try it with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a few drops of traditional balsamic vinegar: an explosion of typically Italian flavors.
