Parmigiano Reggiano D.O.P – Aged 18 Months (Approx. 20 lb Wheel Cut)
Parmigiano Reggiano D.O.P is Italy’s most iconic hard cheese, produced exclusively in Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna (west of the Reno River), and Mantua (east of the Po River). Known as the “King of Cheeses,” it is made following an 800-year-old tradition using only cow’s milk, salt, and rennet no additives, no preservatives.
Aged for a minimum of 18 months, this authentic Parmigiano Reggiano delivers a rich, nutty flavor, a naturally granular texture, and exceptional nutritional value.
