Fattorie Osella

What Fattorie Osella does

Fattorie Osella S.p.A. is an Italian dairy company founded in 1952 by Dario Osella in Caramagna Piemonte, province of Cuneo, Piedmont. It manufactures a broad portfolio of fresh and soft cheeses organized around two flagship families, Robiola Osella (including Leggera, Senza Lattosio, con Tartufo, and Biologica variants) and Linea Osella (including Senza Lattosio and Proteine variants), alongside complementary SKUs such as Primosale, Caprini di Latte Vaccino, Stracchino, Ricotta, Alpino, Bergera, and Scottarella. Production combines traditional artisan recipes, such as the overnight cotton-cloth resting step used in Robiola Osella, with modern food safety systems; the dairy holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 18001, ISO 22000, FSSC22000, UNI EN ISO 22005:2008 traceability, and organic production certifications, and operates on 100% renewable energy including photovoltaic generation.

All milk is sourced from selected local farmers within a 50 km radius in the provinces of Cuneo and Turin, with whom the company maintains multi-generational relationships and a quality-based incentive system aimed in part at preserving the Piedmontese cattle breed. The company is a controlled subsidiary of Mondelez Italia S.p.A., itself part of the Mondelez International group. Distribution is concentrated in Italian supermarket and specialty retail channels; the company does not disclose direct-to-consumer e-commerce. Revenue is generated entirely through sale of branded cheese and dairy products (a hardware-style sales model at standard retail pricing), and the brand is supported via YouTube, Facebook, and an extensive recipe library on its corporate website. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and revenue figures are not available in the source data.
