Located in: Cheese

Cheese from Argentina has been gaining attention as of late, due to Argentina's unique cultural upbringing. While the recipes used to form the cheese are descended from Western European settlers, the cheese itself shows off the beautiful and flavorful taste inherent in the milk from grass-fed cows. Following in this tradition is this parmesan imported from Argentina, which showcases the milk's unique terroir.

This hard table cheese has a salty, nutty, and slightly tangy flavor, due to its careful aging. Produced by the legendary cheese makers at Zerto, this cheese is enrobed in black wax once it has aged to its peak perfection. This seal keeps the cheese from continuing to age and lose moisture as it makes its way up the coast from South America. Somewhat crumbly, this cheese grates easily and is the perfect topping for pastas, soups, or hors d'oeuvres.

Made from cow's milk.

Comments about Black Wax Parmesan by Zerto:

If you ever visited the supermarket in Argentina, you'll see that this is a common cheese there, and one of the cheapest. Yet being the simplest cheese and or cheapest, its taste outweighs it's common value. This cheese's salty amazing flavor, crummy but solid, firm and rich taste is just incredible. Best cheese you'll ever put over any Noquis or Italian pasta that you eat. This cheese tortures my mouth into a fury!
