The Gourmet Selection of Parmigiano Reggiano PDO is an excellent offering by ParmaShop, created for those who want to explore and taste the finest expressions of one of the world’s most beloved cheeses. With its balanced flavor, between savory and sweet, its unmistakable aromas, and a centuries-old history, Parmigiano Reggiano PDO has always been a symbol of Italian culinary tradition.
Born in the Benedictine monasteries of the Po Valley, it is still made today as it was centuries ago, with only three natural ingredients: Cow’s Milk, Salt, and Rennet. Its uniqueness is protected by the PDO – Protected Designation of Origin, which guarantees its production only in specific areas of Northern Italy, including the provinces of Parma and Reggio Emilia.
This exclusive selection includes three types of Parmigiano Reggiano PDO carefully chosen by ParmaShop to offer a complete sensory journey: the Vacche Rosse Reggiane aged 24 Months (approx. 2.2 lbs), sweet and savory, from the breed that gave birth to this extraordinary cheese; the Mountain Parmigiano Reggiano aged 36 Months (approx. 2.2 lbs), more complex and intense in aroma; and finally, the famous Bonat Parmigiano Reggiano aged 48 Months (approx. 2.2 lbs), appreciated by top chefs for its crumbly texture, bold flavor, and exceptional aromatic depth.
Over time, Parmigiano Reggiano develops a more granular, crumbly texture and an increasingly complex taste—features that make it a unique and inimitable cheese. The Gourmet Selection represents the best of Italian artisanal production, designed for those who seek authenticity, quality, and tradition.
