Description
Produced with the prized milk of Brown Cows, this 30-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano represents the perfect balance between tradition and quality. The Brown Cow, known for its milk rich in fats and proteins, contributes to the creaminess and complexity of the cheese. The 30-month aging gives the Parmigiano an intense flavor and a crumbly structure with marked granularity, enriched by tyrosine crystals, characteristic of aged cheeses. On the palate, it offers a complex aromatic range that includes notes of melted butter, dried fruit, and spices, with a persistent and enveloping aftertaste. Milk: Raw milk from Brown Cows.
