This sweeping TV series, directed by Matthew Rosenbaum, is a richly textured, multi-generational family saga set between the pastoral heart of Italy and the pull of the American dream. Starring Peter Sarsgaard and Mackenzie Davis, the story follows Nilde, a determined Italian-American who arrives in Reggio Emilia and becomes entangled in the fractured legacy of her grandfather’s dairy—where buried secrets, wartime histories, and long-standing rivalries threaten its survival.

Produced by Eleonora Granata-Jenkinson, the series unfolds across a vivid backdrop of village life, gastronomy, and generational resilience, as Nilde navigates love, loyalty, and ambition to reclaim her family’s place within the Parmigiano Reggiano tradition. Balancing heritage with innovation, it’s a story of identity, belonging, and redemption—where the past lingers, and the future must be fought for.
