Discover its characteristics, how to enjoy it and how to preserve it.

Characteristics

Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Rosse is made only from milk milked from brown cows of the Reggiana breed. It is a crumbly and grainy cheese, rich in flavor and unique in its kind. Visual examination of the paste reveals the presence of a grainy structure, with a flake-like fracture and tiny holes. Tyrosine crystals appear on the surface of the paste, characteristic elements of proteolysis, the typical process of Parmigiano maturing, primarily responsible for the high digestibility of the cheese.

The color is straw yellow, more intense than that of traditional Parmigiano Reggiano: this characteristic is due to the animals' diet, which includes only grass and hay from the meadows of the Reggio Emilia province, very rich in essences - up to 150 different ones can be counted.

The flavour of Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Rosse is unmistakable, sweet and characteristic , never spicy, just like the real cheese of the past.
