Parmesan

Parmigiano-Reggiano is made from the cow's morning whole milk mixed with the previous evening’s naturally skimmed milk. The artisan cheese-maker skilfully adds whey and rennet through various temperature changes in copper vats. The curd is separated into cheese muslins and then parmesan moulds and traditionally the remaining whey was used to feed the ‘Parma Ham’ (Prosciutto di Parma) pigs. Parmesan is aged and turned for at least 12 months, it is this long and natural maturation which gives the product an extraordinary nutritional value and taste. Our Parmigiano-Reggiano DOP are available as 24, 36, 48 and 72 month aged parmesans. Keep Parmesan stored in the refrigerator at a temperature between 4 and 8 Cº in either glass or plastic containers and only freeze grated parmesan.

    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.
