Parmigiano
Reggiano
cheese has a very long
tradition. Historical documents show that 800
years ago Parmigiano
was already very similar
to that produced today.
For one kilogram of
cheese, about 16 litres of raw cow’s milk
is required. After 12
months
of
ripening,
each and every chease
is inspected by the Consorzio Parmigiano-Reggiano according to high
quality standards. The
consortium set rules
for Cattles, Feed, Process, Aging and Quality. Unanimously considered The King of
Cheese.

sharp and salty. Pecorino Romano is the traditional ingredient for Amatriciana and Carbonara. (Origin: Sardinia)

FRESH CHEESE
Ricotta (Cow, Ewe and Mixed)
Ricotta is an Italian sheep milk or
cream-cheese cow milk whey cheese.
Ricotta (literally meaning "recooked")
uses the whey, a limpid, low-fat, nutritious liquid that is a by-product of
cheese production.
Like Mascarpone, ricotta is a favorite component of many Italian desserts, such as cheesecakes and cannoli. There are also kinds of cookies that include ricotta as an ingredient.
In Italian households and dining establishments, ricotta is often beaten smooth and mixed
with condiments, such as sugar, cinnamon, orange flower water and occasionally chocolate
shavings, and served as a dessert. T his basic combination (often with additions such as
citrus and pistachios) also features prominently as the filling of the crunchy tubular shell of
the Sicilian cannoli, and layered with slices of cake in Palermo's cassata.
Combined with eggs and cooked grains, then baked firm, ricotta is also a main ingredient
in Naples' pastiera, one of Italy's many "Easter pies". Regional variations may be sweet or
savory.
Ricotta is also commonly used in savory dishes, including pasta, calzoni, pizza, manicotti,
lasagne, and ravioli.
It also makes a suitable substitute for mayonnaise in traditional egg or tuna salad and as
a sauce thickener.
Creamy Cheese (Cow and Goat)
Top Quality Cow and Goat robiola. Perfect for
canapees, antipasti, sandwiches, panini, cooking, cheesecakes. Try them mixed with olives
pate’!
Mascarpone is an Italian triple-cream cheese
made from crème
fraîche. It can be used in
desserts (Tiramisu’ the
most known, but also in
Risottos and other cooking preparations.
Code
Stracchino Stracchino
is a type of Italian cow’smilk cheese, typical of
Lombardy. It has a soft,

Cacio Ragusano is an ancient cheese made in the Sicilian countryside where they still use ancient techniques and traditional wood
and copper tools. The hand-made cheese begins with fresh whole
raw milk and natural rennet. After the milk sets, the curd is broken with a forked wooden stick (ruotula), then cooked drained, and
pressed. After a few hours, the curd is cooked again then removed
and allowed to rest in the traditional wooden "mastredda" for 20
hours. When matured, Ragusano is cut into long strips, cooked and
mixed in the wooden "staccio." Using a wooden club (manuvedda),
the cheesemaker stretches and kneads the curd to create an oval
ball, returns it to the mastredda and forms it into the characteristic
shape of Ragusano. A day later, the cheese is immersed in brine for
about 15 days then hung in pairs by hand-made cords (liame) in the
cool, fresh (maizze) where they remain up to two years.

Description
In the year 1977, at San Giuseppe Vesuviano (Naples),
the Auricchio company was born. Its founder was Gennaro
Auricchio, the creator of the special rennet which endows
Auricchio provolone with that flavour which is unique in the
whole world, Mr Gennaro Auricchio’s firm rapidly made a
name for itself: already at the end of ‘800 it crossed the
Ocean and landed in the USA, in Little Italy’s shops. Its
renown and size were increasing steadily so that Cremona’s
production was added to Naples’ first dairy. Auricchio is the
World Leader in the provolone market, and rank amongst
the top Italian companies in the dairy products sector.

WASHED RIND SOFT CHEESE
Taleggio DOP
Taleggio is a washed rind and smear-ripened Italian cheese that is named after Val Taleggio. The
cheese has a strong aroma, but its flavour is comparatively mild with an unusual fruity tang. Its
crust is thin and studded with salt crystals.
First, the acidified milk is brought to the lab from milk calves. The cheese is set on wood shelves in
chambers, sometimes in caves as per tradition, and will mature within six to ten weeks.
It is washed once a week with a seawater sponge, in order to prevent mould infestation, and to
prevent the cheese from forming an orange or rose crust.
Mild and delicate, melting and creamy to the palate, aromatic in
its subtleness, Bontaleggio is the Mauri cheese par excellence,
the real D.O.P. Taleggio.
Typical of Lombardy tradition it is today popular with an increasing number of consumers even on the other side of the Alps.
A slightly thready soft cheese, it is straw white in colour with a
reddish crust that is soft, thin and usually wrinkled. Each cheese
weighs on average 2 kg. It is aged for 40-50 days in the natural
grottoes in Pasturo in Valsassina, with attentive cheesemakers
and expert technicians following it at every stage of the production process, strictly respecting tradition.
Quartirolo Lombardo DOP
Italian creamery, semi-soft
cheese of square shape. It is
made from raw cow’s milk.
Fresh quartirolo Bonquarti’ is a great
ingredient for salads, carpaccios, appetizers, crostini, cheesecakes. Very good
also breaded and deep fried!
Quartirolo Stagionato di Monte is
perfect for a cheese platter (try it covered with sesame seeds)
Tortalpina
A cheese with a unique, unmistakable
taste, created by Mauri cheesemaking
skills. Its crust has a colour similar to
that of Taleggio, but it is creamier and
has a mild flavour. Tortalpina is aged
for 40 days in the natural grottoes in
Valsassina in Pasturo, which produces
complete proteolysis of the cheese and
its consequent soft creamy appearance,
making it increasingly more popular for
cooking.

BLUE CHEESE
Gorgonzola is a veined Italian blue
cheese, made from unskimmed cow's
and/or goat's milk. It can be buttery
or firm, crumbly and quite salty, with a
'bite' from its blue veining.
Today it is mainly produced in the
northern Italian regions of Piedmont
and Lombardy. Whole cow's milk is
used, to which starter bacteria is
added along with spores of the mould GorgonzolaArgento
Penicillium glaucum; the whey is then
removed during curdling, and the result aged at low temperatures.
During the aging process metal rods
are quickly inserted and removed, creating air channels that allow the mould
spores to grow into hyphae and cause
the cheese's characteristic veining.
BONTAZOLA is aged in Mauri’s Pasturo Grottoes much longer and slower
than usual Gorgonzola. Two exclusive
recipes give birth to the Dolce and Piccante versions.
Bontazola Dolce
Bontazola Piccante (Sharp)
Origin: Lombardy
Duetto and Torta Duetto are two refined tasty Mauri specialities
born out of the marriage of the mildness and freshness of mascarpone with the unmistakable aroma of Bontàzola.
They both represent the by now classic Mauri Gorgonzola with
Mascarpone, well loved throughout the world.
The combination of walnuts and two delicious cheeses, together
with the great care that Mauri puts into its preparation, makes
Torta Duetto a tasty refined product, market leader that satisfies
even the hardest-to-please consumers.

LAUNCH PHASE
BRANDING
MERCHANDISING
Many of the most successful retail
products required months before
taking off. We understand consumer patterns and are always willing
to support our customers during
the product introduction phase.
- Special launch promotion
- Sale and return
- In store tastings
We have very prestigious brands which can
generate a lot of interest and cross selling.
We can develop strategies to optimize visibility of a brand and offer a broader range
of product for the same. For example, a
shop willing to promote Mauri brand can
add to the traditional deli counter and retail
Mauri products, branded Mozzarella, Ricotta, Mascarpone, etc.
We support our customers in:
- Selecting the right product
mix based on space available.
- Manage order quantities based
on sales analisys and shelf life
- Optimize display
- Staff training
- Promotions
- Tastings
TIP: why not to sell fresh
Cuordilatte and Buffalo Francia
at the deli counter? This top
quality product comes also in
convenient 1.5 kg trays and
buckets so you can sell fresh
mozzarella like it is sold in
delicatessen shops in Italy.
