FARM
The farm Rossi Tranquillo is located in Torricella (PR) in the fertile Po valley where there is the main production of Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Highly motivated by our great passion and thanks to the modern mechanization, we produce directly the feed for the beeves living in the stables.
The company covers around 40 hectares of land: besides the feed, also wheat and sweet corn are grown to grant an appropriate crop rotation of the land.
Our clayish land is definitely appropriate for the production of high-protein feed (healing herb). This gives to the milk produced very high nutritive properties and a unique flavour.
In our stables we breed cows of several breedings: Frisona italiana (Italian Friesian), Pezzata Rossa italiana (Italian Red Pied) and Bruna italiana (Italian Brown) allow us to produce an excellent quality milk.
All the animals present in the stables are managed through a open housing system: this gives high level of well-being to the animals and it is important for milk productivity.
The milking of the cows, as the tradition of Parmigiano-Reggiano, is carried out twice a day and in particular, early in the morning and during the evening.
In the stables there are around 80 lactating animals that can produce in one year more than 730.000 litres of milk that is entirely intended for the production of Parmigiano-Reggiano.
