Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese

Parmigiano Reggiano is Italy’s most legendary cheese and has been long regarded as The King of Cheese – with good reason! Made with 100 percent raw cow’s milk sourced from the regions of Reggio-Emilia, Modena and Parma – hand-selected based on quality, location, artistry, and its flavor profile – this handmade cheese is aged for a minimum of 24 months. Mitica has been hand-selecting these cheeses for export for over 20 years and has cultivated strong relationships with their family of cheesemakers, and they spare no expense to ensure that this is the best Parmigiano Reggiano available, even having it inspected by the Consorzio del Formaggio Parmigiano Reggiano to guarantee its quality.

This Parmigiano Reggiano has a firm, slightly granular texture. It maintains a balanced moisture level, making it crumbly yet still somewhat creamy on the palate. The flavor is rich, nutty, and savory, with notes of browned butter, roasted nuts, and a hint of fruitiness. There’s also a mild sharpness and a well-rounded umami depth. It’s at home on its own on a cheese board alongside cured meats, pears, figs, and nuts, but it’s also perfect for grating into pastas and risottos or atop roasted vegetables.
