Cheese Experience

Parmigiano Reggiano

Parmigiano Reggiano, often hailed as the ‘king of cheeses,’ is an Italian culinary treasure renowned for its rich flavour and granular texture. Crafted exclusively in the regions of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, and parts of Mantua and Bologna, this aged cheese embodies centuries of tradition and expertise. Made from unpasteurized cow's milk, its production follows strict guidelines, including the use of traditional copper vats and natural whey starters. After aging for a minimum of 12 months, Parmigiano Reggiano develops a complex flavor profile characterized by nutty undertones and savory notes, making it a versatile ingredient in Italian cuisine and a symbol of gastronomic excellence worldwide.
