Description

Milk, salt and time

Parmigiano Reggiano has only three ingredients: raw milk from the area of origin, salt and rennet. No preservatives, no additives. Everything else is done by time, and by the cheesemaker who every morning works the previous evening's milk together with the fresh morning milk.

The wheels rest in brine for about three weeks, then move to wooden racks where they are turned and brushed regularly. At twelve months an expert from the Consortium taps each wheel with a small hammer, listening for flaws inside: only those that pass receive the fire-branded mark.

At twenty-four months the texture is crumbly, with the typical tyrosine crystals crunching between the teeth. It tastes of broth, butter and nuts. Eat it in flakes with balsamic vinegar or a drop of honey, grate it over tortellini, and with a glass of Lambrusco it becomes an afternoon snack.

The piece arrives vacuum-packed: once opened, wrap it in a cotton cloth and keep it in the least cold part of the fridge.
