Parmigiano Reggiano
📍 Emilia-Romagna
The "King of Cheeses" — aged, crystalline and endlessly savoury.
About Parmigiano Reggiano
Made only in a small zone around Parma and Reggio Emilia, this hard cow's-milk cheese ages for one to three years, developing crunchy protein crystals and a deep umami punch. It is shaved over pasta, eaten in shards or stirred into broths.
