This is the minimum aging period for all PDO cheeses. At this age, Parmigiano Reggiano is still very young and has not yet fully developed all its potential, which will be found in more advanced aging. The paste is still quite soft, while the flavor is harmonious, delicate, and pleasantly sweet, with interesting hints of freshly milked milk, yogurt, and fresh fruit. It is perfect as an aperitif paired with sparkling white wines or to add a new and intense flavor to salads and other cold dishes.
Organoleptic Characteristics
- Almost imperceptible tyrosine, low granularity, and low hardness
- High deformability, friability, and low solubility
- Lactic taste (hints of fresh milk and yogurt) and vegetable (grass and boiled vegetables)
- Sweet and slightly acidic flavor
Try it with a fresh Lambrusco from Emilia, even better if paired with an artisanal strawberry compote and a good balsamic vinegar.
Parmigiano Reggiano 12 months is the youngest aging, still not fully developed in all its nuances. Its sweet taste and delicate hints of fresh milk make it perfect for all types of use. Our Parmigiano Reggiano aged 12 months, thanks to the particular production method, is rich in high biological value proteins, vitamins, and mineral salts. That's why it's perfect for everyone: children, the elderly, athletes, pregnant and breastfeeding women. By nature, it also contains virtually no lactose, so it's also excellent for those with intolerances. Our 12-month Parmigiano Reggiano has a price per kg of €16.90, one of the best on the market!
