About us

1902

From stable to mold

Our dairy was founded in Soliera, in the Modena area. This is where the Lugli family's first cheesemaker took his first steps, beginning a story made of milk, hard work, and passion for the art of cheesemaking.

Three generations have passed since then, but the connection to tradition remains the same: transforming the best milk into Parmigiano Reggiano every day, just as our grandparents taught us.

1935

The Lugli family is growing

Quintino Lugli, the grandfather, moves the dairy to Bagno di Reggio Emilia, at 31 Via Beziera. It is here that our story takes a new direction and the name by which the dairy will be known for many years is born: Latteria Via Beziera.

From here begins a new journey: our Parmigiano Reggiano begins to become increasingly well known in Emilia, carving out its place among the tables and shops of the region. A slow and authentic growth, which leads the Lugli family cheese to be appreciated, step by step, throughout Northern Italy as well.

1991

A new home, the same tradition

After over forty years in Villa Bagno, Caseificio San Simone moved to its current location, along the Via Emilia in Reggio Emilia.

It's a new home for the Lugli family, chosen in an area that has always been linked to the production of Parmigiano Reggiano. Here we continue to work according to the tradition of our Master Cheesemakers, combining the experience of three generations with the desire to look to the future.

Time needs space

Our story continues to grow. In 2006, Caseificio San Simone expanded its aging facilities, creating new possibilities to store and mature our Parmigiano Reggiano wheels over time.

An important step for the future, but with the same principle as always: allowing the cheese the necessary time to best express its character.

2018

Growing up without changing

Our journey continues with a new warehouse expansion, which now houses up to 20,000 wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano.

Significant growth, but with an unwavering belief: quality comes from care. This is why we continue to produce only 18 wheels a day, following every stage of processing with the same attention that the Lugli family has maintained since 1902.
