The Fiore cheese factory

The cuisine of the past, the dairy tradition of Gargano, the typical country dishes, the baked bread perfectly made. The Fiore factory puts at the best mouths’ taste their best outcomes to help them discovering an area through its products like the ricotta cheese from the sheep and the goat’s milk, the caciocavallo cheese and the scamorza cheese as well as the best types of salami and wine. All the products are chosen with care and passion because the Fiore Factory is the

story of a brave family. They started their business in the 1970s then Giovanni Fiore gave a new life to the activity that today delivers its goods to the stores in Foggia and in some other villages of the same area, in the province of Bat and Bari and, with a great sense of pride, in Rome as well. Giovanni Fiore told us the story of its factory since the very beginning. «The factory was born from three generations of farmers in the Gargano area and it was set up at the end of the 1970s by my

father Matteo who started this adventure with his wife, my mother Maria Vinciguerra who’s still present today by providing a great contribution to the development of the business with great passion and sacrifice». In 2013 a new business process was started. «After I had worked in other sectors, explains Giovanni, without any particular fulfilment in 2013 I decided to fully dedicate my working time to our old traditions. I started to work for the family company with a very precise aim in my mind that was regaining the wasted time and develop our factory more and more. It wasn’t an easy choice since it was not a great period to develop a company but I deeply believed

in this project». Actually Giovanni was not alone, his collaborators proved to be essential for the success. The following year Giovanni acquired a dairy factory in San Nicandro Garganico so the first dairy factory called “Caseificio Gargano”, the Fiore Company was born. «Thanks to the support and the commitment of the people who worked for our factory, Giovanni is recalling, those people who believed in us even in the most difficult moments, my dream became true. We all do our best so that the company can develop and improve. I want to say thanks to my sister Tonia because she started this adventure with me as well as my wife Anna Rita Argentino who’s always close to me

and my uncle Franco Vinciguerra who has been with us since the very beginning and he’s in charge with the manufacturing of the dairy products and Laura Guarini who has been in charge with the distribution of our products although the difficult moments thanks to her determination. And also Gina de Cillis, who ran our store in Foggia “La Gastronomia del Gargano” with strong determination and strength being supported by Rachele Patruccelli, Luigi Botticelli and his wife Antonella

Del Duca who have been running the “Gastronomia dell’Isola” for the last two years. It’s a store located in Domino on the Tremiti Islands that was born from my personal point of view in which I’ve always believed. Thanks to our will to do things well we have always put our heart into that and the “Fiore New Life” was thus born.
