Parmigiano-Reggiano

Parmigiano-Reggiano is the undisputed king of cheese, commanding authority with a minimum aging of 24 months. Each wheel contains over 600 liters of milk from grass-fed cows in Emilia-Romagna, yielding a nutty, granular texture that outperforms Mozzarella di Bufala Campana in depth of flavor. Its complex umami profile, from 36 months of aging, delivers 40% more protein than the average hard cheese, making it a nutritional powerhouse.
