Cheese King! CASEIFICIO GENNARI organic unpasteurized cow's milk cheese PARMIGIANO REGGIANO DOP, aged for 24 months, is a wonderful Italian cheese made only in the Emilia-Romagna and Lombardy regions. It is a cheese with a rich, versatile flavor that reveals fruity and nutty notes when tasted. Cheese crystals are noticeable. Its texture can be described as hard and grainy. We recommend cutting it into pieces and serving it as a snack or grating it into soups, salads, risottos, stews, and other dishes. Fresh eastern and western cow's milk is used to make this cheese. About 550 liters of milk are needed to make each cheese wheel (37–40 kg)! During production, the milk thickens slowly, and the resulting curd is broken into chunks. The cheese is then heated to a temperature of 55 °C; its granules sink to the bottom of the vat, forming a cohesive mass. Later, the cheese is transferred to round stainless steel containers and secured with a spring clasp to maintain its shape. After a while, the clasp is unfastened, the cheese name is impressed, and it is clasped again. The cheese is then kept in brine for 20–25 days. Once salted, the aging process begins on wooden shelves. The cheese is turned weekly and washed along with the shelf. After 12 months, professionals evaluate whether the cheese is of sufficient quality to be called Parmigiano Reggiano. It bears the DOP (Denominazione d'Origine Protetta / Protected Designation of Origin) label, which is awarded to products whose quality and characteristics depend exclusively on their geographic origin and environment. All stages of production must take place in a specified area.
