Founded in 1999, Pera Formaggi is a family-run business specialising in the selection, maturation and distribution of Italian and international cheeses. Based in Saliceto, Piedmont, we combine the search for distinctive cheeses with the care of those we mature ourselves, offering trade professionals a varied range full of character.

Maturation is at the heart of our work: we follow each cheese as it develops, giving it the time and attention needed to bring out its qualities through regular rind care, turning and careful control of maturation conditions.

Alongside our own matured cheeses, we offer a fast, tailored service for sourcing and supplying European cheeses: from well-loved classics to lesser-known specialities, helping our customers create a distinctive range. We build direct relationships with our customers, providing an attentive and flexible service both in Italy and abroad.

Our ongoing pursuit of Cheese with a capital C finds its fullest expression in Rifugio del Lauro, our range of cheeses matured in the natural microclimate of a former air-raid shelter carved into the rock.

Selecting with attention, maturing with care and building lasting trust: this is how we approach our job, every day.
