Masterfully made in Italy with the same passion, expertise and dedication as it was in the 12th century, Parmigiano Reggiano remains true to its heritage and flavour. Artisanal cheesemakers use traditional methods of production distinctive to the area of origin, to create the only authentic Parmesan cheese.
