Bontiamo introduces its brand and announces the acquisition of the Gavasseto and Roncadella dairy

Bontiamo has officially presented its brand and announced the acquisition of and operational entry into the Gavasseto and Roncadella dairy, scheduled for 1° January 2027.

The brand’s journey

Bontiamo is the evolution of Armonie Alimentari, founded in 2014 with Parmonie, baked snacks made with Parmigiano Reggiano. The range expanded with Parmigiano Reggiano in 2017 and butter in 2019. In 2025, a grating and packaging facility was opened.

The project for Gavasseto and Roncadella involves continuing the production of Parmigiano Reggiano and carrying out conservation-oriented expansion works. Operational entry is scheduled for when the annual milk contracts expire. Bontiamo’s supply chain also includes an agricultural company in the Reggio Apennines, from which part of the milk is sourced.

“With Bontiamo, we have found the identity in which we want to invest for the future of the company. Over the past two years, we have worked on the butter production facilities, the new grating facility, the products and the packaging. These investments have helped us define who we are today. Gavasseto is one of the foundations on which we will continue to build this journey. With the award, we want to recognise the work of the farmers who stand out for the quality of the milk they supply,” stated Gabriele Menozzi, CEO of Bontiamo.

The range

The range of Parmigiano Reggiano includes the classic variety, the meadow-grass variety, red-cow and brown-cow varieties, as well as long maturations from 40 to over 80 months. It also includes fresh grated cheese in resealable packaging and aged tips of 24 months. The butter range includes the classic 82%, lactose-free butter, centrifuge butter, salted butter, organic butter and pastry butter, in formats ranging from blocks to larger blocks for professional use.

Parmonie, the product with which the company began its business, consists of baked snacks made with three ingredients: Parmigiano Reggiano, flour and olive oil. The snack complements the dairy products with a cheese-based baked offering.

The award

Bontiamo has also introduced an award for farmers who supply milk to the company. The award will recognise those who stand out for quality, sustainability and animal welfare, without penalising the other suppliers. The annual ranking and assessment criteria will be defined and validated by Sgs, an international certification body chosen to ensure an independent assessment. The rules will be sent to the farmers by the end of 2026, with the criteria known in advance and the same for everyone.
