Description

Sweeter, more aromatic: excellence born at high altitude.
This extraordinary Parmigiano Reggiano is made exclusively from the milk of Italian Brown Alpine cows, a prized breed raised for over 150 years in pristine mountain pastures. The superior quality of this milk, rich in high-value proteins, especially casein, gives life to a cheese that is sweeter, softer, and more aromatic than traditional Parmigiano Reggiano.

Its pale straw-yellow paste is compact with a slightly grainy texture. On the nose, it releases elegant, intense aromas of fresh milk, mountain hay, and toasted nuts. On the palate, the balance of natural sweetness and delicate savoriness captivates from the first bite, offering a long, refined finish.
