• Parmigiano Reggiano DOP 24 Month Top Grade: For over 700 years, Parmigiano Reggiano has been a staple in northern Italy, made from the highest quality cow’s milk. At 24 months, this full-flavored cheese is laden with crystals that crunch pleasantly on your tongue yielding to nutty, fruity notes on the palate, rounded by the grassy, herbal flavors of the Italian countryside. Perfect for grating, served on its own or as a dessert cheese with a drizzle of honey. (7.5 oz.)
