Description of the processing and maturing methods: The production of mozzarella in Giardinello today has an industrial level but its taste and its goodness are the same as always because they are due to the goodness of the milk and the skill of those who produce it.

Specific materials and equipment used for preparation and conditioning: The Provenzano plant, recently built in the Terranova district, is at the forefront of its field. It is an example of how hard work, skill and honesty of the products used can give results that are an example in an area where entrepreneurship is lacking and unemployment is very high.
