The king of cheeses with a DOP coronation
Parmigiano Reggiano may only be produced in a clearly defined area around Parma. The cheese wheels age for at least twelve months, often 24, 36 or more. Every wheel is tapped with a hammer before release: the sound determines the quality.
Three ingredients – milk, rennet, salt – and months of time create a cheese summit prized the world over. Hard as stone in the middle, soft in the melt, it conquers the palate with a single sliver.
