Why is Parmigiano Reggiano so unique?
Parmigiano Reggiano is widely regarded by professionals and cheese lovers as one of the best cheeses in the world. The milking cows that produced the cheese had to graze on both fresh grass and hay in order for it to bear the Pamigiano Reggiano designation, as stipulated by the DOP certification. Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is made in the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna, and Mantua, which is why those provinces are mentioned in the cheese's name.
 
What is the tasting profile of Parmigiano Reggiano?
Authentic Parmigiano Reggiano has a solid and gritty consistency, with a fruity and nutty flavor, unlike normal Parmesan, which has a slightly bitter taste. Parmigiano-Reggiano acquires its distinctive granular texture during maturation; also, the cheese turns crumbly and soluble when cut into thin slices. Due to its savory flavor, ease of digestion, and long list of health benefits, Parmigiano-Reggiano constantly exceeds expectations.

What wine to pair with Parmigiano Reggiano?
You can also enjoy Parmigiano Reggiano with dry white wine, a burgundy for example such as Laforêt Bourgogne chardonnay even with champagne (Pol Roger Brut Reserve). With a light red wine, a Chianti from Italy too or a Pinot Noir is a good idea, try our Laforêt Bourgogne Pinot Noir. Pair it with bread!
