Parmigiano Reggiano has changed very little since it was first made 800 years ago. The same traditional production is still practiced in the recognized DOP areas of Emilia-Romagna or Lombardy. The cheese is made with the skill of an artisan and the milk allows for a slow aging process. This cheese is an award winning Italian D.O.P. hard cheese made from raw cow’s milk and is aged for 12 months. It has a firm, grainy texture and a delicate nutty flavour.
