PARMIGGIAN REGGIANO

Aged Parmigiano Reggiano is a hard, cooked, non-pressed cheese made from raw cow's milk, partially skimmed by skimming, with no additives or preservatives added. Its maturation, which can vary from a minimum of 12 months to more than 36 months, is a key element that determines its organoleptic characteristics and its versatility in cooking.

The paste begins to become more grainy and crumbly.

Advanced seasoning (over 30 months):
