Authentic and unique Parmesan cheese
Stockmann Delicatessen's Authentic Parmigiano Reggiano is a hard, aromatic Italian cheese. The name Parmigiano Reggiano tells us that the cheese is an authentic Parmesan. This name can only be used to designate cheeses made in the provinces of Parma, Modena, Reggio Emilian, Bologna and Mantua.
Parmigiano Reggiano is made from the best milk in the region. One kilogram of cheese is made from 16 litres of cows' milk. The maturation period of Parmesan cheese varies from 8 to 36 months depending on the grade. The unique aroma of Stockmann Delicatessen's Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is the result of a 36-month maturation period.
Stockmann Delicatessen's rich Parmigiano Reggiano is well-suited for a wide range of gourmet dishes. Authentic Parmesan cheese is at its best as is and is suitable as an appetiser or as dessert, served with strong Italian wine. In cooking, Parmesan cheese is traditionally used as an ingredient in pesto and to season pasta and risotto. Parmesan flakes also taste great on top of a salad or soup and grated Parmesan is excellent for seasoning an omelette, mashed potatoes, sauces, pies and gratins.
