Description & Tasting Notes This parmesan is produced exclusively with the raw milk of the Bruna Alpina cow – a breed that’s been present in Italy for 150 years, especially in the high pastures with the most inaccessible terrains. They produce a very rich milk that’s high in protein, especially casein, and this allows the cheese to be aged for longer and results in a flavour that’s rich, but delicate at the same time. This parmigiano has a delightfully balanced flavour: fruity, sweet-savoury, nutty, creamy and incredibly even on the palate. The texture is firm and crumbly, but moist and even in the mouth – never grainy.Other Notes & Serving Suggestions The extraordinary flavour of this cheese makes it an excellent choice to add to cheese platters, or enjoy with pre-dinner drinks. It pairs extremely well with sparkling wines, craft beers and single malt whiskies. It can be used for cooking, but some of the subtle, rich flavours might be lost in strong flavoured dishes. Use the rind to flavour soups, stocks and olive oils – don’t let a gram go to waste.Region: Emilia-Romagna, Italy Milk: Raw Cow Rennet: Animal Size: 40kg wheel, sold as cuts
