What You Should Know

You'd find this 24-month Parmigiano Reggiano at the supermarket cheese counter, specialty deli, or farmers' market — often picked up to grate over pasta, finish salads, or assemble a charcuterie board. It feels indulgent and slightly nostalgic, evoking home-cooked Italian meals with a firm, granular texture and crunchy protein crystals from long aging. The short ingredient list (raw milk, salt, rennet) and traditional aging indicate it is a naturally processed cheese rather than an ultra-processed product, with fermentation and salting driving its flavor and texture.
