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 PDO 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.
