Caroselle cheese was founded and established by Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet, who immigrated from Italy to the USA in the early 1900’s. She pretty much grew up in a cheese culture and therefore knowing a lot about good European cheeses, particularly the parmesan (a hard cheese originating from the province of Parma in Italy). Patrizia visited India in 1971 and in 1987 she established “Skambha Estate” in the Palani Hills, 18 Km from Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu. Patrizia was gifted with a cow (Deepa), which paved the way for Caroselle’s life long journey.
