QUALITY ASSURANCE
Protecting the customer
All processing phases are carried out by Intergrana in protected environments that guarantee compliance with applicable regulations. Furthermore, to guarantee the highest product quality for the customer, two quality departments operate within our team. Each of these departments deals with a specific sector, from cutting to packaging; this is an additional guarantee of success and satisfaction for our customers.
DAILY TESTS AT THE COMPANY
Guaranteed safety
The tests carried out within the company are widespread and every aspect is aimed at protecting the customer and end consumer. Each line and every processing step are checked twice a day through tools and procedures which, through analysing predefined parameters and data, are designed to prevent micro-leaks in packs or any other problems that might arise.
PROTECTING THE CONSUMER

Furthermore, we operate with approval from the “Consorzio del Formaggio Parmigiano-Reggiano” and with certification from the “Organismo Controllo Qualità Produzioni Regolamentate”.
