The future of Italy’s food industry is rooted in high-quality artisanal production, preserving unique and historic traditions. Sorì, with deep roots in the dairy industry, exemplifies excellence, offering products that embody Italy’s rich culinary heritage.
Family Tradition
Sorì is a dairy company with origins in the 19th century, carrying a family legacy that spans five generations. Founded in 1868 by Giuseppe Sorrentino in Battipaglia, the company continued to grow under the leadership of Luigi Sorrentino, who, together with his sons Vincenzo and Pasquale, established a dairy processing business at the ancient Porta Capuana in Naples in 1918. In the 1930s, Pasquale laid the groundwork for a large-scale production and distribution company. In 1990, Giovanni Sorrentino expanded the business into the Caserta area, specifically Teano, at the foot of the Roccamonfina Regional Park Volcano, focusing on Mozzarella di Bufala Campana. Today, under the leadership of Antonello and Gaetano, Sorì is a leading producer of dairy products, with authentic, high-quality offerings recognized both nationally and internationally.
The Pillars of Sorì
Sorì carefully selects raw materials from the heart of the DOP area. The company uses buffalo and cow’s milk from trusted farms where the animals are fed balanced diets and have ample space to move freely, ensuring their well-being. The water, microbiologically pure and sourced from the volcanic aquifers, plays a fundamental role in all stages of production, from collection to packaging. This commitment to respecting natural resources and animal welfare is reflected in the excellence of Sorì’s dairy products.
Sorì’s Dairy Excellence
Sorì stands out for three exceptional dairy products: Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP, Fior di Latte Slow-Maturation, and Ricotta di Bufala Campana DOP.
Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP is a source of pride for the company, crafted with buffalo milk according to strict quality standards. Each mozzarella is the result of an artisanal process that begins with the prized milk from buffaloes raised in DOP areas and ends with the expertise of skilled cheesemakers.
Fior di Latte Slow-Maturation is a premium dairy product, renowned for its softness and impeccable stretchability, enriched by the purity of water from the Roccamonfina Volcano. Made with cow’s milk from the mountainous areas of the Campanian Apennines, it undergoes a slow maturation that enhances its aromatic character and texture. With a fresh and slightly tangy flavor, this dairy product is perfect not only as a main ingredient in dishes but also ideal for pizza due to its extraordinary stretchability.
Finally, Ricotta di Bufala Campana DOP is made from fresh buffalo whey, adhering strictly to production regulations. This product boasts an authentic taste and distinctive creaminess, a result of meticulous milk selection and artisanal production. Together, these products not only celebrate Campania’s gastronomic excellence but also embody Sorì’scommitment to quality and tradition.
Sorì and Pizza: A History of Growth and Tradition
The history of Sorì is closely tied to the evolution of pizza, a symbol of Italian culinary culture worldwide. From the beginning, Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP, made with buffalo milk from protected designation areas, has been an essential ingredient for pizza, thanks to its availability in the Campania region. Sorì has contributed to this tradition by providing high-quality mozzarella that, since the days when it was transported by horse and carriage from Naples, has been prized for its distinctive flavor and perfect texture. Today, Sorì continues to honor this legacy, ensuring that every mozzarella produced meets the expectations of master pizza makers and pizza lovers around the world.
