Organic Parmigiano Reggiano 36 months 250g
Description
Weight: 250g
Unpasteurised cow's milk
Our new organic Parmigiano Reggiano DOP is a truly exceptional cheese. It has a wonderful strong flavour and a unique granular consistency thanks to the 36 month ageing process. It is produced by Teresa and her family on an organic farm in the Emilia Romagna region where the cows are treated with respect and roam freely and are fed only with hay and organic cereals. No herbicides or chemical fertilizers are used at any time.
This Parmigiano tastes incredible by itself, goes perfectly with balsamic vinegar and full-bodied red wines and is excellent in recipes that need notes of sharp flavour.
Guaranteed Cruelty Free
We are confident that our producers raise their cows with the utmost respect for their welfare.

All DOP Parmesan must be aged for at least 12 months. Ours is matured for a minimum of 31 months making it a deliciously nutty, crunchy cheese.
The DOP mark: As a DOP (PDO) 'Protected Denomination of Origin' cheese, our Parmesan has been guaranteed and certified by the Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium in Italy. This is the best guarantee of excellence in a European agri-food product. Production, processing and preparation of our cheese takes place exclusively in the Parmesan cheese DOP area of origin - any other Parmesan (and there are many, many copies) which does not have this mark is just cheese!
Serving Suggestions
Parmesan is a very versatile hard cheese, excellent as a table cheese with its full and delicate flavour. It is great eaten alone or served with a good aged balsamic vinegar from Modena, truffle honey, pear mustard, fig jam or fruits such as pears, apples, kiwi and nuts. It also gives flavour to all of your recipes and is of course unbeatable when grated on pasta dishes. Don't waste any part of your parmesan - even the rind can be added to soups and tomato sauces!
Enjoy it too as part of an aperitivo! Pair it with dry fresh whites or spumante (Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Prosecco for example), with medium bodied reds (Sangiovese, Barbera d’Alba, Morellino di Scansano, Falerno), and also more structured reds (Nobile di Montepulciano, Super Tuscan, Chianti, Amarone, Aglianico, Etna). It can also be enjoyed with our sweet Malmantico Vin Santo.
