Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese: The Finest Italian Cheese for Eating and Grating
Parmigiano Reggiano, the best-known and most widely used cheese in Italy and around the world, is a truly exceptional culinary delight. Originating from the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, and parts of Mantua and Bologna in northern Italy, this hard cheese is crafted from the milk of cows grazing in the valleys, hills, and mountains between the Po and Reno rivers.
The milk used in the production of Parmigiano Reggiano is constantly monitored to ensure its exceptional quality and the preservation of the unique features that make it a completely natural product, free from any additives or preservatives. Parmigiano Reggiano is protected by the DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) label, which guarantees that the cheese is produced according to the Consortium's strict guidelines.
As Parmigiano Reggiano ages, it develops its characteristic crumbly structure and flaky texture, becoming more brittle and soluble. This maturation process, which takes a minimum of 18 months, is what distinguishes this cheese from the inferior imitations often found outside its native region.
While in the United States, Parmigiano Reggiano is primarily recognized as a grating cheese, connoisseurs around the world, especially in its native northern Italy, savor it as a delicious, full-flavored eating cheese that enhances their finest dishes. Easy to digest, highly nourishing, and lactose-free, Parmigiano Reggiano is suitable for all ages and a wide variety of culinary applications.
Parmigiano Reggiano makes a delectable appetizer when paired with walnuts, jams, or honey. Grated, it is a perfect addition to pasta, risotto, soups, and vegetable dishes, as well as an essential ingredient in recipes like lasagna, meatballs, and meatloaf. Its unique flavor and exceptional quality make it a true standout among Italian cheeses.
The igourmet brand, a champion of small and mid-sized specialty food producers, is proud to offer Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese aged 24 months to 30 months, DOP certified, and of premium quality. Imported directly from Italy and cut and wrapped by hand, this Parmigiano Reggiano is consistently ranked as the best in America by respected culinary authorities like America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Illustrated.
