The origins of Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Rosse are ancient: it was Benedictine monks who began producing Parmigiano Reggiano eight centuries ago using milk from the Vacche Rosse Reggiane cows, and it was the monks who made the first references to this breed of cattle as early as the year 1000.

Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Rosse is thus recognized as the oldest Parmigiano Reggiano.

It is a long-lived, robust and efficient animal, very fertile and resistant to disease. Larger than average, Vacche Rosse cows actually produce little milk, about a third less than the Friesian breed.

Due to this lower productivity, the breed was at risk of extinction, but thanks to the tenacity of a group of farmers, a specific consortium was set up a few years ago with the aim of protecting this animal and bringing the prized Parmigiano Reggiano cheese produced from its milk back to the market.

The production of Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Rosse is subject to strict regulations: Vacche Rosse cows are fed only natural products, i.e., hay, grass, and certified GMO-free feed, with a total ban on any feeding techniques that serve to force production and maximum attention to animal welfare. This is why you can still find animals in the stables that are well over 10 years old, which is very rare for other types of farms.

Thanks to the high-quality milk and its casein content, Parmigiano Reggiano is easy to digest and, even after the long aging process of 40 months, retains a flavor 40 months, maintains a flavor

July 7, 2025 From the

"July 7, 2025 From the inception of my search for Red Cows Parmigiano Reggiano on the ParmaShop site I was pleased with the set up of the web site pages. I chose the 40 month aged Parmigiano and checking out was a breeze. I was surprised that some of the best Parmigiano in the world was not much more per kilo than what is readily available, but not nearly as superior in quality, in my local grocery here in Florida, USA. I was pleasantly surprised when the cheese arrived less than 36 hours after I had placed my order. In fact, it took less than 48 hours from the time the shipping company took posession of the item until it arrived at my door. Keep in mind that it traveled more than 5,000 miles, or about 8,500 kilometers, to reach my home and it was still quite cool when I opened the package. The Red Cows Parmigiano Reggiano is simply delicious, the best I have ever eaten, and I lived in Europe for several years back in the 1970's. I cannot say enough about my entire experience shopping with ParmaShop. The customer service is nonpareil, and the 40 month aged Red Cows Parmigiano Reggiano is simply fantastic. All my friends who I have shared the chees with agree, it is the best! Grazie, Doug, Florida, USA."
