The city of Bra was once the market where this cheese, produced in the mountains of the Cuneo area in northern Italy, was marketed: today it is produced throughout the province. Bra in its two versions obtained DOC status in 1982. It is sometimes referred to as "mezzano" the Bra Duro aged for the minimum period, which can be lengthened to a year or more with excellent results. The additions of sheep's and goat's milk are small compared to the amount of cow's milk, but they manage to give the cheese a strong organoleptic imprint.

When great-grandfather Luigi Guffanti began aging Gorgonzola in 1876, his genius intuition was the purchase of an abandoned silver mine in Valganna, in the province of Varese. Five generations have passed, the attention to the artisanal quality of the cheese product and the passion for careful ripening continue to characterize the Guffanti-Fiori family, consolidated to this day as one of the best ripeners in the world.
