Warning…Content not suitable for lactose intolerant…Did you know that just outside the center of Milan there is a farmstead where you can go to find fresh milking milk? Milan is not just big city, gray, with only big stores and malls that kill small producers and quality. If you are looking for good, km 0 and passionately produced dairy products there is: let’s talk about Cascina Campazzo. This is a farmstead near Milan that provides yogurt and fresh milk that you can buy daily through vending machines on site. Instead of the usual plastic bottle from the supermarket, Cascina Campazzo offers a very special opportunity.
Cascina Campazzo
A few kilometers from the center of Milan, embraced by the city, Cascina Campazzo with its cows gives life to the Ticinello Agricultural Park. It is a historic farmhouse dating back to the second half of the 1700s. It is structured with a double enclosed courtyard divided by a barchessa and surrounded by perimeter buildings. The stables. The manor house. The granary. The houses of the wage earners. The bakery and the small church dedicated to St. Ignatius of Antioch.
The special feature of this Cascina is the fact that it is the closest active farm to the Duomo. In fact, it is located within walking distance of the Abbiategrasso green metro terminus. Just a 10-minute walk from the station. The farmstead’s special location fosters a direct contact between the countryside and the city. From this relationship the Ticinello Park Association was born.
What it produces
The farm cultivates about 70 hectares of Ticinello Park for the production of fodder needed to feed the dairy cows from which yogurt, the first processed food produced by Cascina Campazzo, comes. The yogurt workshop houses a plant that allows the milk to be processed in an artisanal and at the same time technologically advanced way. The white yogurt obtained is whole, natural, with no added sugar, of the highest quality, with a full and intense flavor, very creamy and low acidity. Currently, white, blueberry, strawberry and cereal yogurts are produced.
Of course, the Company’s primary product is milk, which can be purchased fresh daily from the vending machine located in the Cascina and operating every day of the year. To purchase milk, it is necessary to come to the farmstead equipped with your own container. As we read on the farmstead website.
From October 2022, some of the freshly milked milk will be brought still warm from the barn to the Cascina’s yogurt workshop.
A valuable opportunity to eat healthy and support a worthwhile project.
