Organic Parmigiano Reggiano DOP 22-24 months 500g

Organic Parmigiano Reggiano DOP 22-24 months 500g

The Parmigiano Reggiano DOP Organic 22-24 months by Ferrari BIO is obtained from skimmed milk produced in-house, derived from the evening milking, mixed with whole milk from the morning milking.

The milk used is organic and has the Hay Milk STG (Guaranteed Traditional Specialty) certification, which guarantees that it comes from cows raised in traditional, sustainable dairy farms and fed exclusively on grass, legumes, cereals, and hay, without the use of fermented feeds or the administration of GMO feed.

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

After this operation, a slow cooking begins, reaching 55 °C, after which the cheese granules settle at the bottom of the boiler to form a single mass, which will then be extracted by the cheesemaker and worked to obtain the cheese wheels.

The wheels thus prepared, after a few days, are immersed in a saturated solution of water and salt, allowing for salting by osmosis. The final phase of the production process of Parmigiano Reggiano BIO is the aging, where the wheels are arranged in long rows and left to rest on wooden tables for a minimum of 22 months.

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

What you find here is the portion of 500g aged 22-24 months. With this aging, Parmigiano Reggiano presents a straw-yellow color. The texture is crumbly and granular, and the taste presents the right balance between sweet and savory, with an aromatic note of dried fruit and flowers.
