Description

Intense, authentic, unmistakable: the noblest soul of Parmigiano Reggiano.
Parmigiano Reggiano from Red Cows is one of the highest expressions of Italy’s cheesemaking tradition. Made purely from top-quality milk produced by cows fed on hay and herbs from mixed meadows (up to 150 different species), it offers a rich, persistent, and harmonious aromatic profile.

This version, aged over 24 months, has a pale straw-yellow color typical of the breed, a finely grainy texture, flake-like break, and delicate eyes. On the palate, it reveals enveloping notes of herbs, dried fruit, and melted butter, with a long-lasting, beautifully evolving finish.

🧬 Crafted like eight centuries ago:

Parmigiano Reggiano is still made with traditional methods: no artificial fermentation or additives.
The milk comes only from cows fed with local forage, processed in copper vats, and aged for over 700 days in naturally controlled environments. Each wheel is traceable and rigorously inspected before branding.

Guaranteed origin:

Produced exclusively in the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna (west of the Reno river), and Mantova (south of the Po river), in accordance with the PDO regulations.
