Parmigiano Reggiano PDO G.Cravero

Parmigiano Reggiano is the king of Italian cheese and certainly one of the world’s most important benchmarks. Produced by almost 500 small dairies in a strictly designated area of northern Italy, its age and origin is guaranteed, not all cheese is equal. The Cravero family has specialised in maturing Parmigiano from small dairies in purpose built storerooms in Bra since 1855. This rare two-year-old ‘mountain’ cheese has impeccable regional provenance. It is handmade in the San Pietro dairy in the Appennini hills of Modena from the raw milk of a small herd of less than 100 cows. After meticulous maturation at the dairy for six months, the finest cheeses are graded by Giorgio and taken to Bra for ripening.

The Cravero family has specialised in maturing Parmigiano Reggiano from selected small dairies in their purpose built storerooms in Bra since 1855. Their purpose built stone facility allows the cheese to ripen under naturally high humidity and low temperatures which produces a softer, sweeter cheese than other Reggianos.

The combination of impeccable regional provenance and skilled maturation create a cheese with a succulent moist nutty texture and complex fruity caramel sweetness which is delicious enjoyed as a table cheese, not just reserved for cooking.
