"Aurus" Selection

Eight centuries ago, in the ancient abbeys of the hills of Reggio Emilia, the skilled hands of Benedictine monks began to process the milk of red-coated cows, thus giving rise to the Parmigiano Reggiano.

Thanks to the tenacity of local farmers and cheese makers, this tradition is still carried on today, respecting the old methods. A special consortium has even been set up to protect this prized breed of cow and thus continue the production of this superlative Parmigiano Reggiano.

The production of Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Rosse it is subject to strict regulations: the 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 is paid to animal welfare. This is why the stables still house animals 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 long aging, retains a sweet, delicate, and persistent flavor.

ParmaShop has decided to pair the two ages of Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Rosse (24 and 40 months) to a precious balsamic vinegar-based condiment: the gocce D'Oro condiment, from Acetaia Al Livel in Gualtieri, in the province of Reggio Emilia.

The grapes are harvested when ripe and then pressed; the must is cooked in steel vats and aged in fine wooden barrels before being bottled and packaged directly in the vinegar cellar.

Obtained using ancient techniques, rich in tradition and experience, it is the perfect accompaniment to this prized Parmigiano Reggiano PDO.
