Welcome to a place where the passion for cheese is intertwined with the love for Valsassina, creating a magical atmosphere where every taste is an emotion to be cherished in the heart.

 

From Carozzi - Cheese farm with kitchen, located among the lush Grigne that are reflected on the mirror of Lake Como, it is the ideal place to immerse yourself in the rich dairy culture, taste the authentic products of the evergreen Valsassina and be surprised by the creativity of our Chefs

For generations, the Carozzi family has been passionately dedicated to the creation of artisanal cheeses, rooted in the deep traditions of Valsassina.

Our cheeses are made by the skilled hands of the master cheesemaker, Marco Carozzi, who follows with dedication the ancient techniques handed down from generation to generation.
Each cheese is produced with care and attention, preserving the distinctive aromas and flavours that characterise Valsassina. 

Among the specialties we find Taleggio DOP and the refined Gorgonzola DOP, authentic symbols of quality and tradition.

Carozzi Formaggi represents our love for the region, the valorisation of deep roots and our commitment to preserving the ancient dairy traditions.

Gastronomic experiences

The gastronomic experiences, offered by Carozzi in the Classic and Gourmet versions, are designed for true lovers of cheese and good food, for all those who want to be carried away in a world of authentic flavours and discover the excellence of dairy traditions that have been handed down for generations. 

The visit to the dairy represents the exciting start of the journey.  You will be accompanied on a unique journey in which you will be able to observe closely every step of the cheese production and maturation process, discovering the secrets kept by the skilled hands of our master cheesemakers.

The Carozzi experiences are an authentic journey into dairy culture, a complete immersion in the flavours and ancient traditions of Valsassina.
We are ready to welcome you and allow you to experience unforgettable moments, in which the stories of the past come to life through the unique flavours of our cheeses.

The visits are carried out in Italian and in English, all over the year, by reservation for a minimum of two people. We can also accommodate groups, both small and numerous.

"Classic" Experience

Accompanied by the Master Casaro, who will guide you through the tasting process, sharing the stories and fun facts related to each cheese, you will have the opportunity to appreciate the nuances of aroma, the richness of flavours and the variety of textures that characterise our cow, goat and buffalo cheeses. The complex flavours, aromatic notes and varied texture of each cheese will be a testament to the artisanal production techniques and attention to detail that make our cheeses unique.

 

"Gourmet" Experience

The "Gourmet" version is a path of seduction, which will transform the gastronomic experience into a fascinating journey, full of sensory discoveries and new perspectives of taste. In addition to cheeses, the undisputed protagonists of the tasting, you can taste: a selection of fine local cured meats, the classic polenta taragna, prepared following the secret Carozzi recipe, and a variety of gastronomic delicacies created by our chefs, who are true artists of taste. 

Do you want to discover Valsassina by bike?

Valsassina offers a lot of paths for all levels, from cycle paths suitable for families to off-road paths for more expert cyclists. With our bicycles, you can explore our beautiful valley, pedaling along the cycle path and enjoying the breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains. If you are an expert cyclist, we also have off-road routes that will lead you to discover hidden corners of the valley and give you a unique experience. Choose from several options, including MTBs with sizes suitable even for the youngest, e-MTBs with front and full suspension, and city bikes to pedal along the cycle paths without worries. If you need a child seat or trolley, just request it and we will be happy to provide it for you.
