Il Prodotto
Parmigiano Reggiano was born around 1200, in the wonderful territories of the areas of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna and Mantua.
It was born because, since there were no refrigerators, a solution was needed not to waste milk. So, the Benedictine monks created a 100% natural cheese without additives and recognized as D.O.P (protected designation of origin) by the European Union.
PARMIGIANO REGGIANO is a semi-fat cheese made from raw cow’s milk with a rich, straw-coloured paste and a hard, smooth, golden-yellow crust.
It is cylindrical in shape, it weighs from 35 to 40 kg, it has a diameter that measures between 35 and 45 cm and its size measures from 18 to 24 cm.
The Biemmi family has selected a Parmigiano Reggiano with an aging of 24 months because after this amount of time, the cheese reaches its best characteristic taste. Its smells are very pleasant and floral, with a balanced flavor ranging from sweet to tasty, always delicate, but not spicy.
Parmigiano Reggiano 24 months is the most used cheese because of its versatility in many recipes.
Parmigiano Reggiano is perfect to be eaten alone or accompanied by fruit jams and balsamic vinegar of Modena IGP or simply to be grated on a plate of pasta or soup.
It can be accompanied by medium-bodied red wines such as Chianti classico.
