It had been a long time since we tasted a new Parmigiano Reggiano that impressed us. Most leave us flat compared to our tried-and-true "Top Grade" varieties. This new Solo di Bruna Reggiano not only impressed us, frankly it blew us away. Over 350 factories in Emilia-Romagna produces Parmigiano-Reggiano DOP cheese, but only a handful make it exclusively from the milk of the Italian Brown cow, known as the Solo di Bruna it Italy.
The Italian Brown is a cow that originally came to Italy from Switzerland. During the Middle Ages, Parmigiano-Reggiano was only made with milk from the Solo di Bruna. Its milk has a higher casein content than normal cow's milk, making the cheese exceptionally creamy and flavorful. However, it yields less milk per day than most other breeds, thus the reason why most producers switched to other types of cows over the years. Thankfully some artisan producers stayed the course and in 2005 the "Consorzio di Sola Bruna" was established, making it legal to market the Solo di Bruna Parm as a distinct product.
Made exclusively from the milk from the Solo di Bruna and aged for 24 months, the result is a Parm that is fruity and complex with notes of toffee and hazelnut. Its body is laden with those crunchy protein crystals we all seek out in a great Parm. We love it chunked as a delicious table cheese paired with a goblet of Barolo or Barbaresca. If you prefer, grate it atop your pasta, risotto or soup and bring your dish to a whole new level.

What’s the best way to store my cheese? The best way to keep cheese fresh is to store it in the vegetable crisper in your fridge. Before doing so, wrap in parchment or wax paper, then wrap loosely in plastic wrap. You can also buy our exclusive cheese storage bags, specially created to keep your cheese fresher, longer.
Unless used for cooking, we don’t recommend storing cheese in the freezer as this will alter its texture. What is the best temperature to serve my cheese? Remove cheese from the fridge an hour before serving, as cheese is best experienced at room temperature to enjoy the full spectrum of flavors.
How long will my cheese stay fresh in the refrigerator? The length of time cheeses last in the fridge after opening depends largely on the type of cheese. Soft varieties tend to spoil more quickly than hard varieties. Please refer to the table below for a convenient reference:
