Parmigiano-Reggiano

Product ID: 5110099

Lots of cheeses can call themselves "parmesan" but, according to Italian law, not all cheeses can call themselves "Parmigiano-Reggiano". Made for at least 800 years according to exacting standards covering recipe, methods and areas of production, and aging conditions, real Parmigiano-Reggiano is one of the most famous and beloved cheeses in the world. It is aged for at least two years, and although it is a superb grating cheese, it is a remarkable table cheese, as well. Upon taking a nibble, a burst of fruity flavors jumps onto the palate, followed by a nutty tang, and a minimal, balanced amount of salt. The longer it ages, the more amino acid crystals can be found, taking the form of a pleasant crunch. It's the King of Cheeses! Ships ground. Approximate weight 1-lb.
