What Latterie Vicentine does

Latterie Vicentine S.C.A. is an Italian agricultural cooperative founded in 2001 through the merger of two Alto Vicentino cooperatives (Alvi and Cooperativa Produttori Latte Schio), headquartered and operating its main production facility at Via S. Benedetto 19, Bressanvido (Vicenza). The cooperative represents 200–250 member farms across the provinces of Vicenza, Padova, Treviso, and Trento, processes more than 110 million liters of milk per year, and is described as the largest Asiago DOP production facility in Italy. Output includes Asiago DOP Fresco, Asiago DOP Stagionato (Mezzano, Vecchio, Stravecchio), Grana Padano DOP, and specialty cheeses (Brenta Selezione Oro cave-aged under Schio Castle, Cuor di Vezzena, Morlacco del Grappa, Bastardo del Grappa, Montasio DOP, Pan di Formaggio, 7 Malghe), plus a fresh dairy line covering pasteurized and UHT milk, probiotic and lactose-free yogurts, butter, cream, mozzarella, stracchino, caciotta, and mascarpone.

Production infrastructure centers on a Bressanvido packaging facility inaugurated in 2020 with 5 ultrasonic-blade cutting lines (~20,000 kg/day, portions 100g–7kg), a 500+ sqm natural aging cave beneath Schio Castle used for Brenta Selezione Oro, and a co-investment program with BCC Iccrea and Invitalia to build a new Grana Padano plant, a new aging warehouse, and triple the packaging center. The cooperative is certified to IFS Food, BRCGS, ISO 22005 (traceability), ISO 14001, EU Organic, FDA, and Made Green in Italy Class A (Asiago Fresco and Stagionato).

Revenue is generated through three principal streams: (1) branded and private-label DOP cheese supply to Italian large-scale retail distribution (GDO), (2) fresh dairy and cheese supply to the HoReCa food service channel and direct consumers, and (3) direct-to-consumer sales through 7 company-owned Spacci Aziendali retail outlets (Bassano del Grappa x2, Bressanvido, Schio, Cittadella, Vicenza, Montecchio Maggiore) and an online shop (shop.latterievicentine.it), with FDA certification supporting US export. The cooperative is governed by farmer-members, with Alessandro Mocellin serving as President (fourth mandate) and Piero Cerato as General Director; ownership is not externally controlled and there are no parent or subsidiary entities.
