Parmigiano Reggiano Aged 24 months - 1lb wedge

Sales rank: 190

Few products in the world are distinguished enough to have their location built into their name, but Parmigiano Reggiano is one of them. Parmigiano-Reggiano is a hard texture cheese, cooked but not pressed. The milk obtained, from cows on a strict regime diet of grass or hay, is exclusively from the territories of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena and part of Bologna and Mantova. The cheese is made every day, therefore it has a variability which represents the fruit of nature. You will notice that with age comes perfection characterized by tiny white crystals grains and this 24 month specialty has these markings. The Bertozzi Brand is our preferred brand because it's name is synonomous with Parmigiano Reggiano. Abele Bertozzi S.P.A, based in Parma, founded in 1901, hand picks the finest Parmigiano wheels from all the master parmigiano small and rural cheesemakers, then stamps the Bertozzi brand logo, which has the eye-catching threes nose "il tre nostri" trademark.

Air-freighted from the finest Parmgiano Reggiano dairy, #3090, of the 493 dairies

Italy's "King of Cheeses"

Exquisite shaved over fresh asparagus, risotti or pasta

Nestled in the rolling green hills of Borgotaro, Emilia-Romagna (Annibale Giovanni Ferrari's birthplace) this small cooperative produces a limited amount of Parmigiano Reggiano, so few that it took us three years to persuade them to allow us to sell their cheese in the U.S.! Parmigiano is made a strictly defined zone between Parma, Modena, Reggio-Emilia, Bologna and Mantua, where it has been produced for hundreds of years. A close knit network of 492 local caseificii in Emilia-Romagna and Lombardia has been granted the right to produce the protected Parmigiano-Reggiano. The Caseificio Sociale di Borgotaro, dairy 3090, is widely recognized in Italian food circles as the finest producer of Parmigiano Reggiano. It is situated highest amongst the pre-Appenine grasslands. The dairy's herds graze on nutritious, hearty grasses raised in the mountainous air. After the cows are milked, the cheesemakers at the Caseificio, breaking with tradition, insist on leaving much of the flavor-rich, high-fat cream in the whey, whereas most producers skim it off to sell it in liquid form, where it commands higher prices. Leaving a greater amount of this luscious mountain cream in the cheese creates a creamy Parmigiano with a clean milky palate and 28-month aging lends a pleasantly milky finish.

clover added to create a green hue

conical, sharp tasting grating cheese

This unique cheese, sometimes called Glarner Schabzieger, has a mysterious green hue. This color is due the addition of clover. Not only does this herb add an interesting tint, it also gives the cheese a unique sharpness. Sap Sago is made to be a grating cheese and is not commonly eaten straight. It is excellent grated over steamed vegetables; especially cauliflower, broccoli or potatoes. In Switzerland, this conical cheese is often grated and blended with butter to create a piquant spread for bread or crackers.

The milk from the evening is left to rest overnight in containers, letting the cream come to the surface in a natural way

This milk is partially skimmed in the morning and then mixed with the mornings whole milk

Every day 10 wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano are made

The cheese is immersed in brine for 21 days, then turned, cleaned and seasoned for 24 months

This cheese has an incredible sweet, floral, fruity fragrance and the rich, pure flavor

Dairy Co-op Santa Rita consists of eight family farms located at Pompeano and Selva of Serramazzoni in the Modena Apennini Mountain. All of the farmers belonging to the Co-op have been applying the methods of biological agriculture and zootechnics for the last ten years. Proper tillage, scrupulous feeding, care and wellbeing for the cattle, and the refusal of any genetically modified nourishment are basic for the daily management of the farms. The eight farms in the Co-op are located within a few kilometers of each other, so when the milk is delivered to the Co-op, it is in the very best condition.

The milk from the evening is left to rest overnight in containers, letting the cream come to the surface in a natural way. This milk is partially skimmed in the morning and then mixed with the morning's whole milk. Only milk and rennet of organic origin are mixed in large copper kettles from which, after heating and coagulation, the wheels will be made. Every day, 10 wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano are made. For a kilo of Parmigiano Reggiano to be made, 17 liters of milk will be used. The cheese is immersed in brine for 21 days, then turned, cleaned and seasoned for 24 months.

We had the good fortune to sample this cheese at the SANA in Bologna. We were bowled over by the incredible sweet, floral, fruity fragrance and the rich, pure flavor. Clearly, the additional work needed to achieve an organic product, the small scale of the co-op and the unique flavor that comes from its mountainous territory pays off to create nothing short of a masterpiece.
