Organic Parmigiano Reggiano DOP 22-24 months 250g

The Parmigiano Reggiano DOP Organic 22-24 months by Ferrari BIO is made from skimmed milk produced in-house obtained from the evening milking, blended with whole milk from the morning milking.

The milk used is organic and possesses the certification Fieno Milk STG (Traditional Specialty Guaranteed), which guarantees that it comes from cattle raised on traditional, sustainable dairy farms and fed exclusively on grass, legumes, cereals, and hay, without the use of fermented feed and the administration of GMOs.

Poured into the typical inverted bell-shaped copper boilers, the milk is enriched with natural rennet and starter whey, which allow it to coagulate. The curd is then broken down by the master cheesemaker into tiny granules using an ancient tool called a spino.

After this operation, slow cooking begins, reaching 55 °C, after which the cheese granules settle at the bottom of the boiler forming a single mass, which will then be extracted by the cheesemaker and processed to obtain the cheese shapes.

The molds thus prepared, after a few days, are immersed in a saturated solution of water and salt that allows for salting by osmosis. The final phase of the production process of Organic Parmigiano Reggiano is the aging process, during which the molds are arranged in long rows and left to rest on wooden boards for a minimum of 22 months.

In this way, the outer part of the cheese dries, forming a natural crust, obtained without chemical treatments and completely edible. Finally, the experts of the protection Consortium examine each form of Parmigiano Reggiano, and only after a positive verification is the quality mark applied to the molds that meet the requirements of the Protected Designation of Origin (DOP).

What you find here is the portion of 250g aged 22-24 months. With this aging, the Parmigiano Reggiano has a straw-yellow color. The texture is crumbly and granular, and the taste presents the right balance between sweet and savory, with an aromatic note of dried fruit and flowers.
