The Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is left to mature to create a strong and well-balanced flavour with an intense, lingering aroma. Premium quality milk from the local dairies and a lengthy maturation makes it an exceptional cheese with fragrant notes of the herbs and flowers typical of the area where it is produced. Parmigiano Reggiano 12 months is a full-flavoured cheese and contains no preservatives and is naturally lactose free. The absence of lactose is a natural consequence of the traditional Parmigiano Reggiano manufacturing process (less than 0.01g / 100g galactose). Aged minimum for 12 Months, 100% Natural Parmareggio was founded in 1983 in Montecavolo di Quattro Castella to season and finish the world-famous Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. This cheese is lovingly crafted in the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena and Mantua using the same techniques and production methods that were established by the monks who first created it in the region.
