Product Description
The Italians are horrified by our usage of this, the world's most famous hard cheese. Thought of here in the States as purely a grating cheese, the rest of the world savours Parmigiano-Reggiano as a delicious, full-flavored eating cheese. It began life seven centuries ago in the Italian provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, part of Bologna and part of Mantua. Nature blessed this zone with the most idealistic cattle grazing land to create the unique milk from the "Zone Tripica". The local cheese craftsmen took it from there, utilizing a totally natural process that has not changed for 700 years. No additives, no machinery, no gimmicks... just sweet, fresh milk in its pristine state... then the artisan's ancient skills... and then nature's own good time (aged from 18 to 36 months). What you see today is just what the knights, serfs, saints and kings of old ate! And please, don't compare it to the pre-grated "Parmesan" cheese found in the green can in aisle 4 of the grocery store. Made from raw cow's milk, aged over 18 months.

 Best cheese in the world December 29, 2003

I surprise myself by rating this cheese my favorite of all cheeses (and I love cheese, all kinds.) But real Parmigiano Reggiano is so delicious. I love the characteristic amino acid crunch (those little white spots are crystallized amino acids produced during the ripening process.) Even though a pound grated lasts a long time, sadly, you may discover that real parmesan can be eaten in chunks, like a good chocolate, and thus, this pound will melt away like snow. Too good.

I just opened my Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese and it's outstanding! I intended to use it in my mixture for meatballs, but decided it's way too delicious. Definitely to be enjoyed by freshly grating atop any pasta dish, but I enjoy eating it as is with some fresh fruit!
One of the great cheeses of the world January 4, 2004

The only real Parmigiano (Reggiano) is one of the great cheeses of the world. The best Reggiano (there are different grades of Reggiano, too) is much more than a grating cheese--it is a cheese that can be eaten by itself, before a meal or after. The best grades of Reggiano are best shaven paper-thin (use a good cheese plane) and will have a slight pineapple taste when savored slowly. This cheese is a real treat!
Just what I was looking for March 9, 2006

Excellent product and delivered fresh. Made of raw milk to keep original flavor. Highly recommended if you like strong taste of raw milk cheeses.

This is the parmigiano I remember from the neighborhood Italian market when I was a girl.
The taste is lovely and piquant - a little goes a long way in the flavor department. There are the wonderful little crystals in the cheese. And it is aged so that it crumbles really nicely when cut.
It is absolutely delicious eating out-of-hand, which is the way I prefer it. Just a little piece is so satisfying. (I am 100% Italian, first generation American, and my parents were real 'foodies', so I like to think I know my cheeses!)
The Parmigiano was also packaged really well. It came extremely cold in a little styrofoam container, with a cold pack and additional padding, inside a cardboard box.
(.....)
I would order this cheese again and I look forward to ordering with (....) again, too. Check out their website for fantastical things!
