For more than 135 years, the tradition has been passed down from father to son. Auricchio’s closely guarded secret Provolone recipe, the carefully selected production team, and its passion combined with experience and technology are the ingredients needed to make products of premium quality, traditionally made, the majority of which still by hand.
“The company is market leader for sales of Provolone in Italy and worldwide, and it offers a wider range of dairy products: Provolone (sharp, mild and smoked), Gorgonzola (Creamy and Mountain), Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano, Pecorino Romano, Taleggio, Quartirolo, Asiago, Mozzarella, Mascarpone and a large assortment of fresh and seasoned Pecorino cheeses – tells the owner Alberto Auricchio –. Thanks to the company’s acquisition strategy, which was introduced in 1993, the historic Auricchio brand has since been joined by other high-quality products that are strongly linked to the Italian cheese-making tradition. The internationally registered company brands are: Auricchio for Provolone, Locatelli (only for US market) the most famous brand in Pecorino Romano Dop, Riserva Esclusiva Auricchio, Giovanni Colombo, Gloria and Ceccardi. Since the beginning of the last century, Gennaro Auricchio has been exporting to different foreign markets and now is present in more than 50 countries, in particular in the US market. The sales share developed by the export department represents 35% of the total turnover of the company.
