Parmigiano Reggiano 2003
Parmigiano Reggiano 2003

The fact that Parmigiano is one of the healthiest cheeses around, making it suitable for very young children, nursing mothers, the elderly and athletes comes as no surprise. The long, slow ageing process helps the cheese develop and disperse its goodness. Made with unpasteurised skimmed milk from accredited dairies within the allotted region, the rind is brine washed, then rubbed with olive oil and slowly matured under strict supervision. Only cheeses with the Consorzio markings are the true Parmigiano, and we hand pick ours from the premier quality section that are aged at least 3 years and with low numbers denoting that the dairy is in the prime grazing areas. As well as the obvious culinary links, a chunk of Parmesan on a cheeseboard makes a stunning contribution with its fruity, gritty powerful taste and texture. We have forged connections with Poggiocastro Dairy who produce cheeses only from milk from their own herd and who also grow all the grain and foodstuff for their animals to eat ensuring close supervision all the way down the line.

Emilia-Romagna
Emilia-Romagna is about one thing – food. In culinary terms, it is by far the most important region in all of Italy being home to Parmigiano-Reggiano, arguably the greatest cheese in the world. It is also the centre of production for pasta, it leads the rest of the country in growing vegetables and, if needing anything else to justify it’s existence, Emilia-Romagna is also home to Prosciutto di Parma.
