QUALITY
Our goal is to produce with high quality, in appliance of the regulations
in force by the Italian law and the Consortium rules. Our efforts
are aiming to continuously improve milk quality, beginning from cow
breeding. We believe that a great Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is the
final result of high quality applied at every single stage in the
making of the cheese, hereby including feeding and breeding.
That is why our associates are directly involved in the supply of
the "raw items". We apply a voluntary control procedure
to guarantee the respect of Italian law and Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium
sanitary regulations in force.
The control plan has been based on the Hazard Analysis on Critical
Control Point (H.A.C.C.P.) system, which prevents from potential
risks and manage their survey. This system allows us to perform
a rapid response in case of every kind of problem.
The control plan is integrated in our Quality System, with the goal
to monitor critical stages and sanitary aspects of working environment
and aging.
We monitor:
- milk transformation operations
- milk production is voluntary kept separated from this plan due to
the following reasons: milk producer and cheese factory are separate
firms, and the associates who provide milk are considered in the quality
system as supplier.
The control plan in the associates' firm must be under the responsibility
of the associate-supplier, and, according to regulations in force,
it is not compulsory. To this extent, a voluntary control plan for
milk production is in use by every associate-supplier.
The security of the cheese is based basically on the good management
of the breeding, on the respect of hygienic rules and on the correct
management of the cheese factory.
