In Italy as a child, even under a year, our mother improves our meals with a little Parmigiano Reggiano cheese because the Parmigiano Reggiano is a 100% lactose-free cheese.
When we grow we have the habit and the pleasure of adding grated Parmesan to every pasta or risotto or soup, or to eat it as a snack and in many other Parmigiano Reggiano recipes. At parties a beautiful presentation is a parmigiano reggiano wheel cut in half, partially emptied and pasta served inside.
Parmigiano-Reggiano is an extraordinary cheese with amazing aromas and taste and a unique texture. A purely natural product, completely without additives or preservatives and it’s so much part of Italian life-style.
We are talking about the King of Cheeses which was born between Parma and Reggio Emilia (for this it is called Parmigiano and Reggiano). We are talking about a cheese that needs a specific production area :provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna and Mantua. Produced from cows grazing on fresh grass, the parmesan is followed every moment by the cheese maker who works seven days a week, always. Every day, the milk from the evening milking is left to rest until morning in large vats.Tahe result of the cheese maker’s work is linked to his/her personal experience and hands.
All this is guaranteed by the Consortium and that’s why it’s labelled DOP .
Considering that Parmigiano Reggiano price is a little bit higher that other cheeses the doubt is always how to choose it.If you buy a slice of it with the rind you can see the mark punched on it. Then you can also use the rind,let’s see our post !
Otherwise you have to check the symbols on the package or trust the shop where you buy it
Just a couple of final suggestion :
Pre-grated Parmesan is available but in no way compares with the freshly grated cheese.
Parmigiano is not proper for vegetarin because calf rennet is used together with fermented whey to make it.
