Parmigiano Reggiano DOP - G.Cravero

Nutty, fruity and deeply savoury, with the moist crystalline texture that sets great Parmigiano Reggiano apart.

This Parmigiano Reggiano DOP is selected by Giorgio Cravero from wheels made in the Appennini hills of Modena. Made from raw cow’s milk and matured for around two years, it is rich but not dry, with a succulent texture and long fruity sweetness.

Origin: Modena, Emilia-Romagna, Italy
Milk: Raw cow’s milk
Style: Hard grana-style cheese
Texture: Firm, moist and crystalline
Intensity: Medium to strong
Rennet: Animal rennet
Age: Around 24 months
Shelf life: Around 7–10 days once cut

Toasted nuts, broth, dried fruit and a gentle sweetness develop alongside the crunchy crystals of long maturation.

Break into chunks for the cheeseboard, shave over pasta or risotto, or finish vegetables and salads.

Prosecco, Lambrusco, Shiraz and other full-bodied reds all work well.

Firmer cheeses are excellent with sharp pickles, a little fruit sweetness and crisp texture.

Tasmanian Quince Paste · Pickled Baby Figs · Falwasser Crispbreads

Pecorino Romano
For a saltier, sharper sheep’s-milk grating cheese.

Pecorino Moliternino
For something slightly softer and more obviously sheepy.

The wheels are made at a small mountain dairy and then selected by the Cravero family for further maturation in Bra, where they have specialised in ageing cheese since the nineteenth century.

Ingredients: Raw cow’s milk, salt, cultures, animal rennet.
