Organic Parmigiano Reggiano DOP 15-18 months 200g

Organic Parmigiano Reggiano DOP 15-18 months 200g

The Parmigiano Reggiano DOP Organic 15-18 months is made from evening milking mixed with whole milk from the morning milking.

The milk used is organic and has the certification Latte Fieno STG (Traditional Specialty Guaranteed), which guarantees that it comes from cows raised on traditional, sustainable dairy farms, fed exclusively on grass, legumes, grains, and hay, without the use of fermented feeds and the administration of GMOs. 

Poured into typical bell-shaped copper boilers, the milk is enriched with natural rennet and a starter whey to allow for coagulation. The curd is then broken down by the master cheesemaker into tiny granules using an ancient tool called spino. 

After this operation, a slow cooking process begins, reaching 55 °C, after which the cheese granules settle to the bottom of the boiler, forming a single mass, which is then extracted by the cheesemaker and processed to obtain the cheese wheels.

The wheels thus prepared, after a few days, are immersed in a saturated solution of water and salt that allows for salting by osmosis. The final phase of the production process of Organic Parmigiano Reggiano is aging, where the wheels are arranged in long rows and left to rest on wooden boards for a minimum of 15 months.

In this way, the outer part of the cheese dries, forming a natural rind, obtained without chemical treatments and fully edible. Finally, experts from the Protection Consortium examine each wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano, and only after a positive check is the official seal applied to the wheels that meet the requirements of the Protected Designation of Origin (DOP).

What you find here is the portion of 180g aged 15-18 months. With this aging, Parmigiano Reggiano presents a light straw-yellow color and has a scent of milk, yogurt, or butter. The flavor is sweet, milky, with delicate herbal notes, generally harmonious and delicate.
