24-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano is perfect for a first tasting: it is at this age that Parmigiano Reggiano begins to express all those organoleptic characteristics that have made it one of the most consumed cheeses in the world. The perfect balance between sweet and savoury and the friable, grainy straw-yellow paste make it perfect for all traditional Italian dishes and excellent to pair with medium-bodied wines. The notes of fresh milk, still present, are very interesting.
Organoleptic Characteristics
- Numerous tyrosine crystals, high graininess and hardness
- Scents of melted butter, hay, fresh fruit, dried fruit and meat broth
- On the palate, there is a perfect balance between sweetness and savouriness.
Try it paired with a good glass of Franciacorta along with a velvety pepper and balsamic vinegar cream. Also excellent with more structured wines, such as a Chianti, a Sangiovese or a Gutturnio.
After two years of aging, 24-month Parmigiano Reggiano has developed many of the organoleptic characteristics typical of this cheese. The friability is even greater, although hints of fresh milk still persist. Our 24-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano is a unique cheese in the world, because it contains many of the nutrients we need: high biological value proteins, mineral salts and vitamins. Plus, it is also lactose-free. This is why it is perfect for everyone: children, the elderly, athletes, intolerant individuals, and pregnant and breastfeeding women.
