ABOUT US

Experience organized by the Mezzana Marilleva Consortium in collaboration with the Presanella Social Dairy and the 'L'Alveare' Association. The Presanella dairy cooperative collects the milk produced by farmers in the Upper Val di Sole. With care and dedication, it carefully and lovingly processes it into premium cheese, including Trentingrana, Nostrano, Casolèt della Val di Sole (Slow Food presidium) and ricotta, fully respecting nature and the age-old local cheesemaking traditions. The association 'L'Alveare' deals with multiple local entities including MMape, Fattore Legno, Bosco Derniga, and from this year also our Venetian Sawmill.
