Caseificio Artigianale F.lli Derosa

Since 1950, Caseificio Artigianale F.lli De rosa, the first dairy to open in the small town of Gravina (Bari), has been at the service of authenticity. The company also produces the renowned Pallone di Gravina, a Slow Food Presidium recognized in 2012 and winner of the national "Guardiani del Gusto" award in 2015.

The maturation process of Pallone di Gravina from Caseificio De Rosa is the only one that respects the historical tradition and takes place in the "Calcarinite di Gravina" cave. In this way the cheese absorbs extraordinarily intense flavors and aromas.

In fact, Pallone di Gravina one of the main characteristics of this cheese is not the milk nor even the great skills of cheesemakers (from past and present times) but in the maturing and more exactly in the place where the cheese "stays" and "ages". The "maturation" method of this cheese with a centuries-old history has always been its own secret.
