On March 20, 2025, Montanari & Gruzza Spa was honored for the second year in a row among the top 100 companies in Italy with the **Credit Reputation Award**, presented by **MF Centralerisk**, in recognition of our outstanding creditworthiness and reliability within the financial system.

The Credit Reputation Awards are given to companies that demonstrate exceptional punctuality and reliability toward banks, earning them access to an exclusive **Club of Virtuous Companies**, a platform for networking and business opportunities. The award is assigned based on a transparent evaluation model (www.craward.com) using objective data from the Italian Central Credit Register ("Centrale dei Rischi" - CR). It enhances visibility with banks, investors, and the market at large.
Strong roots, forward-looking vision. Our story began in Sant’Ilario d’Enza, along the ancient Via Emilia, in a region where tradition and innovation have long gone hand in hand. From the outset, we have built our identity on values of excellence, responsibility, and a deep connection to the local territory.
Our work is rooted in the world of Parmigiano Reggiano, where craftsmanship and know-how are passed down through generations. We believe in the value of biodiversity and invest in native cattle breeds – **Reggiana Red Cow, Brown Alpine, and White Modenese** – to ensure milk of unique quality, capable of producing cheese with extraordinary aromatic richness.
We have chosen to focus on organic production, developing a complete supply chain that includes a dedicated dairy farm in the Parma Apennines and a cheese factory just a few kilometers away. We manage the collection of naturally skimmed cream from Parmigiano Reggiano dairies directly, ensuring freshness and quality with no intermediaries.
We are custodians of a centuries-old tradition, always with an eye on the future.
Our financial strength and reliability are the result of responsible management based on values of sustainability, innovation, and respect for the environment. This award is a testament to our commitment to bridging tradition and progress, excellence and vision.
