Abstract

DAIRY MILK CHAIN. OUTLOOK AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE ORGANIC MILK IN ITALY The milk & dairy production chain plays one of the principal roles in the Italian food industry. Consumers from each part in the world appreciate the different PDO cheeses (Protected Designation of Origin) and other typical products of the Italian agro-food culture. The recent scandals about “blue mozzarella” and other food contaminations, adulterations of milk increased the attention of consumers to their health. To provide the demand of “secure food”, an increased number of producers now offer different kinds of products and some of them are certified like organic products. Move to the organic method, to produceoffer- consume-recycle goods, is the future trend of agricultural system, in general the hoped general approach of life. The aim of organic production system is to limit the impact on the environment from the food production chain and in the same to offer higher quality food; the added value of this food is documented trough a specific label that can be put on the recognized and certified products. Organic milk is still now a small part of the entire milk sector but the consumption of this product, at the beginnings just thought for specific alimentary diet, is now appreciate from consumers that are well informed about properties and organoleptic characteristics, and often also available to spend something more than the same conventional product.
