Organic Parmigiano Reggiano DOP over 30 months 1kg

The Parmigiano Reggiano DOP Organic aged over 30 months by Ferrari BIO is made from skimmed milk produced from the evening milking mixed with whole milk from the morning milking.

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

Poured into typical bell-shaped copper cauldrons, the milk is enriched with natural rennet and whey starter, which allows for coagulation. 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 process begins, reaching 55°C, after which the cheese granules settle at the bottom of the cauldron forming a single mass, which will then be extracted by the cheesemaker and processed to obtain the cheese wheels.

The cheese wheels prepared in this way are immersed in a saturated solution of water and salt after a few days, allowing for salting through osmosis. The last phase of the production process of Parmigiano Reggiano BIO is the aging process where the cheese wheels are arranged in long rows and left to rest on wooden shelves for a minimum of 30 months.

In this way, the outer part of the cheese dries, forming a natural rind, obtained without chemical treatments and completely edible. Finally, the experts from the protection consortium examine each wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano, and only after a positive inspection is a burned stamp applied to the wheels that meet the requirements for Protected Designation of Origin (DOP).

What you find here is the 1kg portion aged 30-33 months. With this aging, Parmigiano Reggiano presents a intense straw yellow color. The texture is drier and more grainy compared to other ages.

Richer in nutrients, its flavor is bold and features notes of dried fruit and spices.
