Parmigiano Reggiano DOP

Parmigiano Reggiano PDO is one of the greatest symbols of Italian culinary heritage. It is produced exclusively in the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, and parts of Bologna and Mantua, following strict PDO production regulations that have safeguarded its authenticity and exceptional quality for nearly a thousand years.

Parmigiano Reggiano PDO is:

• 100% naturally produced – with no preservatives
• Naturally lactose-free
• Rich in calcium and a natural source of phosphorus

Each wheel is made using only a few natural ingredients: fresh raw milk, rennet and salt. No preservatives, no additives and no compromises. After traditional artisanal production, the cheese undergoes a long ageing process during which it slowly develops its extraordinary aromatic complexity.

As it matures, its texture becomes increasingly crumbly and granular, while its flavour evolves from delicate notes of fresh milk and butter in the younger maturations to the distinctive aromas of dried fruit, broth, spices and umami that characterize long-aged Parmigiano Reggiano.

Parmigiano Reggiano is exceptionally versatile in the kitchen. It is delicious served in flakes with traditional Aceto Balsamico, Saba, honey or mostarda, enhances risottos as well as fresh and filled pasta, and can also be enjoyed on its own with a fine glass of wine to fully appreciate its remarkable character.
