On 26 October 2026, at Proloco di Aiola – Associazione La Barchessa in Montecchio Emilia, Facchinetti sponsored the annual gathering of cheese producers organised with CheeseItaly. The event brought together producers, mainly of Parmigiano Reggiano, who brought cheeses to be sent to a competition in Spain.
A day of meetings and tastings
During the day, producers brought their cheeses and met visitors in an informal setting, with interviews, photo opportunities and tastings.
Facchinetti solutions for cheese cutting
Facchinetti took part as a sponsor with Luca Ciminelli, Director of the Sales Department, and Albano Hoxha, the new sales representative for Italy, presenting its machines for cutting cheese into discs, portions and cubes. It was an opportunity to introduce Facchinetti’s work and technology to the producers.
A partnership supporting Italian excellence
The gathering was a step towards the trip to Spain: the dairies handed over cheese samples for the 38th edition of the World Cheese Awards in Córdoba. The competition took place on 12 November as part of the International Cheese Festival, scheduled from 12 to 15 November at the Centro de Exposiciones, Ferias y Convenciones in Córdoba.
CheeseItaly coordinates Italian producers’ participation in international competitions. Facchinetti supported the initiative and presented its technologies to the dairies in attendance: two ways of contributing to the visibility and recognition of Italian cheeses.
