The founder, Luigi Cilento, was born in Vico Equese, a small town located on the Sorrentine Penisula. From an early age he was intrigued by dairy products, and worked in local dairies in the area.
In 1956, Luigi moved to Cellole, a town on the northern border of the Campania region – an unspoilt territory.
In 1976, along with his brother Giuseppe, he began the production of buffalo mozzarella.
Cilento, once a small dairy, with passion and courage eventually developed into a modern food plant. Keeping family as the core value of this company, the third generation of family members currently manages the firm, maintaining a strong focus on tradition and quality.
Cilento is the leader in exstension and production capacity.
The modern production plants extend over an area of 100,000 square meters, of which 25,000 are roofed. Equipped with state of the art systems and capable of combining tradition and taste.
