Gourmets consider Parmigiano-Reggiano a splendid eating cheese not just for grating. In Emilia-Romagna it is often paired with pears and walnuts and enjoyed at the end of a meal. Many consider it to be at its best at 24 to 30 months, when it is still soft and crumby.
A very fine eating cheese, at this age the Parmigiano is slightly firmer with tiny crunchy spots from the crystallised salt, rich and complex in flavour. This is a fine Consorzio approved 24 month Parmesan.
Whole Parmigiano cheeses are traditionally used as a serving pot. Special occasions, when one has dozens of guests to serve the whole cheese is hollowed out so that steaming pasta can then be poured in it and served from therein.
All our Parmesan cheese is tested by a master grader – by tapping the wheel at various points, they can identify undesirable cracks and voids within the wheel. Those cheeses that pass the test are then heat branded on the rind with the Consorzio's logo.
