An authentic experience from the "Rio San Michele" dairy, located in the heart of the Modenese Apennines. Our Parmigiano Reggiano is Prodotto di Montagna (mountain product), which is an additional quality certification. The cheese is made over 800 meters in the mountains, offering a unique flavor shaped by rich grasses and fresh mountain air. This Parmigiano Reggiano is perfect for enhancing any dish with its authentic Italian flavor and exquisite quality.

Origin: During 30 months of maturation, our Parmigiano Reggiano acquires a unique character and depth of flavor that distinguishes it from younger maturations. This period allows the flavor and texture of the cheese to develop to perfection, resulting in a cheese with an intense nutty flavor, grainy texture and complexity that can only be achieved through patience and traditional craftsmanship.
This cheese is the result of a carefully monitored process that follows strict traditional methods. Methods that Luca and the other cheesemakers still use in a perfect balance between tradition, experience and passion. It all starts with milk from local cows that graze on the lush fields of the region. The milk is then brought to the dairies, where it undergoes a careful and precise maturation process under the expert supervision of the cheese makers.
Tasting notes:
Aroma: On the aroma of Parmigiano Reggiano aged 30 months, you can expect a welcoming aroma of nuts and spices that awakens the senses and hints at the complexity of the cheese.
Taste: At the first bite of Parmigiano Reggiano aged 30 mesi (how you say months, in Italian) you will be greeted by a deep and rich taste where the distinctive notes of nuts dominate. These notes are balanced with an umami flavor that cannot be found in younger ripenings and leave a pleasant aftertaste on the tongue.
Perfect combinations:
Wine: it is recommended to choose a strong red wine such as a Chianti or a Barbera. These wines compliment the intense flavor of the cheese and add an extra dimension to the tasting experience.
Food: Parmigiano Reggiano 30 mesi can be used in a wide variety of dishes. It is perfect for grating over pasta or risotto, slicing as a delicate starter or serving as a tasty snack with fruit or nuts, or with a few drops of aceto balsamic on top!
Experience: Each slice of our loving Parmigiano Reggiano invites you to participate in the time honored tradition of Italian cheesemaking — a true feast for the palate.

The pieces are unique due to the cutting operation and therefore it is impossible to guarantee a uniform weight. For this reason, a weight tolerance of about +/- 5% is expected.
