The cheese is made over 800 meters in the mountains, giving it a unique flavor shaped by the rich grass and fresh mountain air. This Parmesan cheese is perfect to enhance any dish with its authentic Italian flavor and exquisite quality.

Origin: Our Parmigiano Reggiano 24 mesi (how to say months, in Italian), originates from the picturesque hills of Italy's Emilia Romagna region, where the tradition of making this iconic cheese has deep roots.
The lush meadows and clean environment of the area provide the perfect setting for our cheese, which benefits from the region's unique terroir.
Every bite of our Parmigiano Reggiano bears witness to the heritage of this mountainous region and the craftsmanship of Luca and the other master Parmigiano producers, with an unrivaled taste and quality that can only be achieved through centuries of experience and tradition.
If you are unsure about the maturity, 24 month Parmigiano is an excellent choice. With its distinctive yet still gentle flavor, its texture hard enough to be grated but still comparable to a less mature cheese, it is a choice that everyone will agree on!
Tasting notes:
Aroma: In addition to nutty, spicy and fruity undertones, the aroma of our 24-month-old Parmesan cheese can also have subtle hints of butter and a slight sweetness that add depth to the complex aroma. The aroma is rich and intense, reflecting the mature nature of the cheese and the careful aging process.
Taste: The taste of Parmigiano Reggiano 24 months is characteristic of its maturation. It is rich and complex with a deep and full-bodied flavor that embraces the palate. You will experience a harmonious balance between salt and sweetness, with clear notes of nuts and spices, complemented by undertones of fruit and a light acidity.
The texture is firm and grainy, giving a satisfying mouthfeel, and the taste leaves a long-lasting aftertaste of intense, salty and umami-rich notes.
Perfect combinations:
Wine: Enjoy our Italian cheese with a full-bodied but not too heavy red wine like a Sangiovese Classico or a Chianti Classico to highlight the depth of the cheese.
Food: Parmigiano Reggiano 24 months is the perfect accompaniment to a variety of dishes, including pasta, risotto, or as a delicious topping for a fresh salad. Try your pasta carbonara with this cheese!
Experience: Every slice of our lovingly crafted Parmigiano Reggiano 24 mesi invites you to participate in the time-honored tradition of Italian cheesemaking — a true celebration 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 approximately +/- 5% is expected.
