An authentic experience from the "Rio San Michele" dairy, located in the heart of the Apennines of Modena. 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, giving it a unique flavor shaped by the rich grass and fresh mountain air. This parmesan is perfect to enhance any dish with its authentic Italian flavor and exquisite quality, but it is also excellent to try as a starter or at the end of the meal.

Origin: Our Parmigiano Reggiano 36 mesi (how to say months, in Italian), cradled in the tranquil pastures of the highlands, is a proud reflection of the mountainous region's unique terroir.
The lush meadows and pure environment of the area provide the perfect setting for our cheese, and every bite of our Parmigiano Reggiano bears witness to the heritage of this mountainous area 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.
Do you like a distinctive taste? A Parmigiano Reggiano aged for 36 months is the right choice for you. Try it on its own with slices of salami and focaccia bread for a unique starter, or as an after-dinner snack contrasting with honey or jam. And if you want to give your omelette, lasagna or pasta a little character, grate this cheese for an extra flavourful touch! Cradled in the quiet pastures of the highlands, our Parmigiano Reggiano is a proud reflection of the unique terroir of the mountainous region. The pure environment and lush flora infuse the cheese with a distinctively intense flavour that truly puts it in a class of its own.
Tasting notes:
Aroma: This Parmigiano Reggiano presents a deep and complex flavor that embraces a pronounced nutty and spicy character. A symphony of aromas unfolds, accompanied by a harmonious melody of dried fruit and a balanced blend of warm spices.
Taste: A rich and layered profile that reveals a blanket of nutty elegance and a spicy depth that only time can cultivate. Palate: The crystalline texture gracefully fades away, leaving a memorable umami note and a pleasantly bold finish.
Perfect combinations:
Wine: Pair the lively character of the cheese with a robust red wine like Barolo, Amarone, or Primitivo di Manduria, or opt for a bubbly Prosecco for a delightful interplay of flavors.
Food: Elevate your dishes by grating it over creamy risotto, stirring it into hearty polenta, or enjoying it with honey, pears, jams (fig or pear are my personal favorites!) and walnuts for a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
Experience: Every slice of our lovingly aged Parmigiano Reggiano 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.
