This wheel represents the classic maturity of Italy’s most celebrated cheese. Produced in the protected regions of Emilia-Romagna and neighboring provinces, each wheel is crafted from raw cow’s milk, salt, and natural rennet using time-honored methods. After careful production in copper vats, the wheels are aged for a minimum of two years, allowing the cheese to develop its signature granular structure and remarkable depth of flavor.
At 24 months, Parmigiano Reggiano reaches a perfect balance of complexity and versatility. The texture becomes firm and crystalline, breaking into delicate shards that reveal savory notes of roasted nuts, browned butter, and dried fruit with a long, lingering finish. It grates beautifully over pasta, risotto, and soups, yet is equally compelling shaved over salads or enjoyed in chunks on a cheese board.
This impressive 90-pound wheel showcases the scale and craftsmanship of traditional Parmigiano Reggiano production. Protected by strict DOP standards and aged under careful supervision, it embodies the heritage, patience, and precision that have made Parmigiano Reggiano a cornerstone of Italian cuisine for centuries.
