Product Description

Nestled in the rolling green hills of Borgotaro, Emilia-Romagna (Annibale Giovanni Ferrari's birthplace) this small cooperative produces a limited amount of Parmigiano Reggiano, so few that it took us three years to persuade them to allow us to sell their cheese in the U.S.! Parmigiano is made a strictly defined zone between Parma, Modena, Reggio-Emilia, Bologna and Mantua, where it has been produced for hundreds of years. A close knit network of 492 local caseificii in Emilia-Romagna and Lombardia has been granted the right to produce the protected Parmigiano-Reggiano. The Caseificio Sociale di Borgotaro, dairy 3090, is widely recognized in Italian food circles as the finest producer of Parmigiano Reggiano. It is situated highest amongst the pre-Appenine grasslands. The dairy's herds graze on nutritious, hearty grasses raised in the mountainous air. After the cows are milked, the cheesemakers at the Caseificio, breaking with tradition, insist on leaving much of the flavor-rich, high-fat cream in the whey, whereas most producers skim it off to sell it in liquid form, where it commands higher prices. Leaving a greater amount of this luscious mountain cream in the cheese creates a creamy Parmigiano with a clean milky palate and 28-month aging lends a pleasantly milky finish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Second Order July 25, 2010
By KVA

This lasted about 5 months for our household only because of sheer willpower. The cheese was delicious with fruits (grapes and berries were my favorites) or thinly sliced or grated over salads. No bitter aftertaste and a cleaner finish than most P-R cheeses I've tried. I'm placing a second order. Delivery the first time was very timely and the product was in perfect condition.

I've been searching for a really good parmesan for years. This cheese tastes just right. Pricey, but worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete Satisfaction October 6, 2011

I wanted to try this style cheese just to see what the fuss is all about on those cooking shows. I had bought super market deli Parmesan for years but it always tasted a bit flat to me. Just not exciting. Anyway I splurged, I'm an old guy and simply wanted to at least have tried the "good" stuff at least once. I typically use the cheese grated or shaved on salads or pasta. I was amazed this stuff is too good to waste on pasta or salads, It needs to be eaten freshly cut from the piece with sliced raw apple or pear. It's to be savored slowly and with concentration. It is simply the best I've ever had, anywhere. I will use it on my salads and pasta but I will never be able to go back to the impersonators. Just for information the seller A. G. Ferrari Foods was perfect also but the cheese overshadows all else.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as in the past
I've ordered this cheese several times in the past, but this time it was clearly not as aged or as good. I won't be buying here again.

Sadly the store that I bought this from does not believe this picture implies I would get a wheel. In fact they were the opposite of good customer service handling my complaint. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome! I'm salivating just writing about it.
Buy this cheese and you won't regret it. I'm also on my second order and the first 2 lbs only lasted a couple of weeks so I think that makes me a bonafide addict... Read more
