Corrado Benedetti

Corrado Benedetti works in Sant'Anna d'Alfaedo, between the Lessinia plateau and the hills of Valpolicella, north of Verona. The family story starts with master cheesemaker Angelo, Corrado's grandfather, whose work was carried on after the war by Corrado's parents, Vittorio and Pasqua.

The company is known above all as an affineur: it selects cheeses from trusted dairymen and refines them with ingredients of the area, from Amarone wine to walnut leaves, hay, herbs and cherries.

Alongside the cheeses, the workshop makes cured meats and preserves to serve with them, following old recipes of Lessinia and the upper Valpolicella.
