Parmigiano Reggiano PDO Vacche Rosse (Red Cows) 24 months + 40 months + Gocce d'Oro Balsamic Dressing

Eight centuries ago, in the ancient abbeys of Reggio Emilia, the skilled hands of the Benedictine monks began to work the milk of the red-mantled cows, thus giving rise to Parmigiano Reggiano.

Even today, tenacious local farmers and cheesemakers have carried this tradition on, following and respecting ancient methods. A special Consortium was even created to protect this precious breed of cows and thus continue to produce this superlative Parmigiano Reggiano.

The production of Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Rosse is subject to a strict regulation: the Red Cows are fed only with natural products, therefore hay, herbs and non-GMO certified feed; it is absolutely prohibited the use of any food technique that serves to force production, whereas the highest attention attention is paid to well-being animal. This is why in the stables there are still animals of more than 10 years of age, which is very rare for other types of farms.

Thanks to the fine milk and its casein content, the Parmigiano Reggiano obtained is easily digestible and, even after a long ageing period, it maintains a sweet, delicate and persistent flavour.

ParmaShop has decided to combine Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Rosse aged 24 and 40 months with a precious dressing made with balsamic vinegar: the Gocce D'Oro dressing, from Gualtieri’s Acetaia Al Livel, in the province of Reggio Emilia.

The grapes ripened and harvested in the farm are pressed; the must obtained is cooked in steel cauldrons and aged in fine wooden barrels and then bottled and packaged directly in the acetaia.

Obtained from ancient techniques, rich in tradition and experience, it is the perfect match for this fine Parmigiano Reggiano PDO.
