igourmet Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Rosse Cheese

The Italians are horrified by our usage of this, the world’s most famous hard cheese. Here in the States, it is thought of as purely a grating cheese. The rest of the world savours Parmigiano-Reggiano as a delicious, full-flavored eating cheese. It began life seven centuries ago in the Italian provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, part of Bologna, and part of Mantua. Nature blessed this zone with the most idealistic cattle grazing land to create the unique milk from the “Zone Tripica”. The local cheese craftsmen took it from there, utilizing a totally natural process that has not changed for 700 years. No additives, no machinery, no gimmicks. Just sweet, fresh milk in its pristine state, the artisan’s ancient skills, and then nature’s own good time (aged from 18 to 20 months). What you see today is just what the knights, serfs, saints, and kings of old ate!

Fanticini produces small quantities of “Vacche Rosse” in their family dairy in Villa Sabbione (near Reggio Emilia), using milk from the Raggio Cigarini Farm. This “Red Cow” variety tastes like the Parmigiano Reggiano of yesteryear. The milk of the red cows is characterized by a higher butterfat content and contains more proteins.
his combination allows for the production of a cheese that is better suited for a longer period of aging, requiring a minimum of 30 months. Compared to the 24 month aging period of most other Parmigiano Reggianos, that is quite a difference. Its unique nutty, fruity, grassy flavor is richer than most Reggianos and its texture is somehow more creamy, even though it is aged for a much longer time.
Reserve it for the most special dishes, or eat it like the Italians do – chunked and drizzled with thick, expensive Balsamico. Made from 100% all natural, grass fed, unpasteurized cow’s milk.
