THE HISTORY OF PARMIGIANO REGGIANO: 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.
WHAT MAKES THIS INCREDIBLE CHEESE INCREDIBLE: 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. What you see today is just what the knights, serfs, saints and kings of old ate!
THE CHEESE AGING PROCESS: All wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano are inspected at 12 months of age to determine grading. Only the top three grades, based on appearance, structure and other characteristics, are permitted to continue the aging process. At the request of the producer, wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano at 18 months of age are inspected a second time.
OUR MISSION: We aspire to deliver the finest gourmet foods to elevate your cooking and gift giving experiences, but most importantly, make the food moments in your life a bit more special.
