The caves

We put all our effort and passion into trying to explain the caves to you, but you cannot fully understand them unless you visit and experience the explosion of the smell of cheese when you open the doors
Refined as in the past
An ancient practice, able to create unique cheeses

The seasoning in the cave is a practice that dates back to ancient days. Light , humidity and temperature are three decisive elements for the proper maturation of cheese and, before they could be controlled, the natural caves which were mainly in Central Italy, were the ideal solution to refine the cheese.
So far, the cave , with its particular shape and its microclimate, it is the best environment for the process of aging, especially if the use of appropriate technologies (thermometers, moisture meters ) allows you to check in detail the whole process.

Two caves covered in stone have been built inside the DeMagi headquarters, digging into the ground and installing a technological system that allows you to remotely control the microclimate of both. A clear choice, strongly desired to refine the cheese in the best way, or by combining the teachings of tradition with the benefits of technology.
Inside the caves the cheeses are seasoned on axes of different woods, according to the type of cheese, or inside barrels in the case of herbed cheeses or a particular maturation (under must , for example) or even in jars with leaves (walnut, olive, fig, chestnut…).

But not only. The caves also allow you to experiment with combinations and special seasoning processes in order to literally create a unique variety, able to excel with fragrance, textures and flavors never tasted before.
