La storia dei formaggi Pezzetta inizia al femminile nel 1927 in un paesino del Friuli quando nonna Ninfa, rimasta vedova in giovane età e con tre figli piccoli da sfamare, grazie ad una licenza alimentare baratta al mercato di Udine prodotti del suo orto con forme di “Latteria” che stagiona, affina e rivende al suo paese. L'esperienza e la passione per i formaggi si tramanda per tre generazioni ed oggi i fratelli Marco e Paolo Pezzetta dispongono di 12 celle per stagionature differenti, di un caseificio ad Ovaro a 527 m s.l.m. nell'alta Carnia e di un prosciuttificio a San Daniele del Friuli. Ecco perché sono in grado di offrirci non solo stupendi e pluripremiati formaggi, ma anche prodotti tipici del territorio friulano: un territorio che riserba inaspettate sorprese ed è in gran parte ancora da scoprire.
