Parmigiano Reggiano aged 48 months, also known as Parmesan cheese, represents the highest expression of tradition and craftsmanship. Produced by Caseificio Gennari using raw, partially skimmed milk from Friesian cows—the most widely used breed for classic Parmigiano Reggiano cheese—each wheel requires over 500 liters of milk, ideal for long maturation while preserving creaminess and a delicate sweetness.
After 4 years of aging, this extraordinary Parmesan cheese develops a compact and irregular texture with a rich amber hue. On the palate, it offers an intense and complex flavor profile, featuring notes of hazelnut, walnut, chestnut, and almond, with a slightly sharp and nutty finish.
The best way to enjoy this long-aged Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is in small flakes, savored on its own or paired with gourmet accompaniments such as honey, balsamic vinegar, or structured wines. A true gastronomic experience that celebrates depth, aroma, and authenticity.
