Parmesan is only Reggiano and its unmistakable taste is appreciated in every corner of the earth as well as being protected thanks to the Protected Designation of Origin mark. the history of the most famous aged cheese dates back many centuries- The tradition of this historic product and symbol of Made in Italy is protected and ensured by the Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese Consortium. The history of Parmigiano Reggiano dates back to about 900 years ago. Today, as then, the ingredients are always the same: water, salt, milk and a lot of patience for seasoning. Most of the dairies that today produce Parmigiano Reggiano, make it with the milk of the Frisian cows, which arrived in the provinces of Reggio at the beginning of the last century, but those who still rely on red cows produce a cheese of superior quality.
