Parmigiano-Reggiano is a hard texture cheese, cooked but not pressed. The milk obtained, from cows on a strict regime diet of grass or hay, is exclusively from the territories of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena and part of Bologna and Mantova. The cheese is made every day, therefore it has a variability which represents the fruit of nature. You will notice that with age comes perfection characterized by tiny white crystal grains, and this 18 - 24 month specialty has these markings.
