Cucina di Paola 1985 is a renowned Italian gastronomic company, founded in 1985 by Paola and Valerio Bolzonello. Its roots date back to the 1920s, when the great-grandparents, expert cheesemakers, began to make a name for themselves in the small village of Santi Angeli, in the province of Treviso. The company took its first steps in local markets, offering cheeses, cured meats, and ready meals, traveling from Veneto to Friuli. With the entry of their children Jacopo, Isaia, and Francesca in 2006, a gastronomy lab was built, offering space for a expansion and innovation in the range while preserving traditional flavours.
