The Parmigiano Reggiano it is the magnificent result of a long history that began about eight centuries ago in the abbeys of monks. In fact, the Benedictines are credited with the invention of this aged hard cheese.

The Parmigiano Reggiano it originates in the area between Parma and Reggio Emilia and is still produced here, in the same places, using the same traditional methods and ingredients: high-quality milk from the area of origin, salt, and natural rennet.

It has been recognized as a product since 1992 and can only be produced in the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, and in some areas of Mantua and Bologna.

The relationship with the territory is indissoluble: the climate, the cows' diet, the raw materials, and the knowledge of the artisans are elements that cannot be found anywhere else. Each wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano is therefore truly unique.

To produce a single wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano DOP weighing approximately 38 kg, 550 liters of excellent fresh milk and at least two years of aging are required.

This product is known and appreciated all over the world, and its success has also made it the most imitated cheese, but only one is the original: the one marked by the Consortium. At the end of the aging process, experts examine each wheel individually and those that meet the requirements are branded with a hot iron. This seal is essential for producers and consumers because it is the only one that can offer an absolute guarantee of the product's quality.

The half wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano it is an excellent centerpiece for parties and special occasions.

Your guests can serve themselves directly using the special almond-shaped knife, cutting the cheese flakes directly from the wheel. Suggest to your guests that they drizzle a few drops of good balsamic vinegar over the flakes to make them even more delicious.

A tip: when the half wheel is empty, use it as a bowl to serve pasta and risotto: it will be a guaranteed success.

It is excellent paired with red wine.

To preserve the quality and flavor of the Prosciutto di Parma PDO, it is essential to follow some simple but important guidelines for storage, both before and after opening the product Before opening when the ham is still sealed in its vacuum-packed packaging, it is recommended to store it in a cool, dry place. In a very cool cellar or in refrigerator a temperature not exceeding 10°C store in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and heat sources Once opened ham requires a little more care when it comes to storage. Ham should be stored in refrigerate between 4°C and 8°C, wrapped in cling film or in a clean cotton cloth this helps protect the meat from drying out and preserves its aroma and flavor. In addition, it is useful to lightly grease the cut surface with a drizzle of olive oil this small precaution helps to preserve the moisture of the ham and keep its organoleptic qualities intact. It is important to consume the ham within a few weeks of opening to enjoy its characteristics to the fullest, thus ensuring an optimal taste experience.
