Hard cheeses are products with a relatively low water content (around 35%) and a very intense flavour derived from a long ageing process (from three months to three years).

Hard cheeses include Emmental, aged Pecorino, Gruyère, Parmesan and Grana Padano. These last two are sometimes also referred to as “extra-hard cheeses”.

Sacco System produces and distributes a wide range of live cultures and solutions for production of hard cheeses, particularly for Grana Padano, Emmental, Gruyère, Comté, and aged pecorino.
