Only the best
Only the best products from Reggio Emilia find their way to Casa Ibatici. I know the dairy, the acetaia – and the people behind them.
About Casa Ibatici
A piece of authentic Italy for Swiss homes
Casa Ibatici was founded in 2025 in Schmerikon with a simple dream – full of flavour, history and tradition.
My story
I am Andrea Ibatici – born and raised in Reggio Emilia
The home of Parmigiano Reggiano and of traditional balsamic vinegar, patiently aged in wooden barrels.
Since childhood the scent of cheese, the stories of the cheesemakers and the intense taste of balsamic have accompanied me – they taught me to recognise quality and passion in every product.
Every visit to the dairies or vinegar houses, every fair and event showed me that Parmigiano Reggiano and balsamic are not just products: they are culture, patience and devotion. With Casa Ibatici I want to bring all of this to you – not only the unique taste of our products, but also the history, care and love behind them.
Casa Ibatici was founded in 2025 in Schmerikon with a simple dream: to bring a piece of authentic Italy into Swiss homes – full of flavour, history and tradition.
My philosophy
Simple: made with heart and passion
Personally selected
Every wheel is chosen on site, every balsamic tasted. What I wouldn’t put on my own table, I don’t sell.
Tradition, not industry
Milk, rennet, salt and time. Grape must and wooden barrels. No additives, no shortcuts – just as for centuries.
My roots
Reggio Emilia – a short introduction
Reggio Emilia lies in the heart of Emilia-Romagna and is a city with a long history reaching back to Roman times.
As early as the Middle Ages the city developed into an important centre of trade and culture. Reggio Emilia is also famous as the birthplace of the Italian tricolour: in 1797 today’s flag of Italy was presented here for the first time.
Besides art and culture, Reggio Emilia is known above all for one thing: pleasure. In the hills around the city, Parmigiano Reggiano, one of the most valuable cheeses in the world, has been made for centuries. The region is equally famous for its Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale and for a cuisine that is warm, hearty and authentic – like its people.
Casa Ibatici carries on a piece of this tradition: we bring the flavours of our hills – the real Parmigiano, the balsamic, the products of the region – to people who value quality and craftsmanship.
