(based on 10 ratings)

Located in: Cheese, Italy

Parmigiano-Reggiano is a delicious, full-flavored eating cheese. It began life seven centuries ago in the Italian provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, part of Bologna and part of Mantua. Nature blessed this zone with the most idealistic cattle grazing land to create the unique milk from the "Zone Tripica". The local cheese craftsmen took it from there, utilizing a totally natural process that has not changed for 700 years. No additives, no machinery, no gimmicks. Just sweet, fresh milk in its pristine state, the artisan's ancient skills, and then nature's own good time (aged from 18 to 36 months). Parmigiano Reggiano Stravecchio is aged a full 36 months. At this age, it has a deeper, golden color, and has even more crunchy crystals. Full and fruity with a slightly salty tang, this cheese should be served in chunks with figs or pears or as an appetizer with aperitifs.

Made from unpasteurized cow's milk.

We have ordered the younger versions before and always come back to the 3 year old - a world of difference. If you like the crunchy, biting flavor of great Parmigiano this is a must.

For a good parmigano reg, good enough for eating and not grating, you pay. [...] But, for what you get, the price is fair.This is for eating perhaps with a touch of balsamic reduction
