A family story
, since 1935.
Among the Novara hills, the passion for the art of cheese-making and the knowledge that grandfather Natale passed on to the Leonardi family have reached the fourth generation. We shared this deep bond with the land together with many other families, some of whom still follow us on this journey. It is through these bonds that we renew Igor Gorgonzola’s promise of quality every day, transforming the best milk of Piedmont into an excellence appreciated all over the world.
