Surrounded by unspoiled nature the Cooperativa Alpe del Garda work in complete harmony with the territory, between the mountains that divide Tremosine from Trentino on one side and Lake Garda with the Baldo on the other, in the heart of the beautiful Parco Alto Garda Bresciano.

The Cooperativa Alpe del Garda identifies, since its establishment in 1980, the respect for the environment and the attention to territory as its main values and objectives, together with the development of local agriculture and economy. In particular, the dairy factory represents the perfect combination between the ancient mountain traditions and the most modern technologies that enable the constant monitoring of the milk processing and ensure strict application of all hygiene regulations.

Pieralisi technologies have been chosen thanks to their reliability and versatility as Renato Cassoni, the Cooperativa General Manager, says “With Pieralisi machines we can achieve the highest standards of quality and at the same time we are able to process with a technique based on tradition, that maintains and even enhances the organoleptic characteristics of our cheeses.
The Cooperativa Alpe del Garda has a Pieralisi complete turnkey system that includes all the reception of milk at the dairy factory with isolated and refrigerated tanks of 10,000 liters each, a Pieralisi centrifuge mod.MCS5 combined with a Pieralisi pasteurizer mod. PC70 / 4. Pieralisi also provided to the cheese production area 2 circular cheese vats dedicated to the hard and semihard cheese (Formaggella di Tremosine).

The whole production process is handled by a PLC control panel that, depending on the setted recipe, is able to manage all the parameters such as temperature and time to obtain the desired cheese.
Also the centrifuge to skimming the whey after the crud processing is Pieralisi, a skimmer mod. SV30.
