Parmigiano Reggiano aged 48 months

Our 48-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano embodies all those precious characteristics that only time can develop. The long aging period gives this cheese a more compact and irregular appearance, along with an intense, amber color. Its flavor is more complex and pungent than previous aging periods, with pleasant spicy, hay, and dried fruit notes. It's perfect for those who love unique and uncommon tastes, and makes an excellent gift. In the kitchen, it's perfect for tasting moments, perhaps accompanied by well-structured and meditation wines.

Organoleptic Characteristics

• Compact and very crumbly texture
• Aroma with more developed notes, such as spices, dried fruit, and hay
• Strong, decisive, and slightly pungent taste
• Amber color

Try it paired with a good glass of chilled Lambrusco or more intense, full-bodied wines, such as a Barolo or a Sauternes. It is excellent on its own, enjoyed in flakes, perhaps with sweet preserves and balsamic vinegar. Given its pronounced crumbliness, it is also great grated as a filling for fresh pasta.

After a full four years of aging, 48-month Parmigiano Reggiano has developed unique and complex nuances, completely different from younger aging periods. Here we find a pronounced crumbliness, along with spicier notes of dried fruit and hay. Our 48-month Parmigiano Reggiano is rich in properties, such as high-biological-value proteins and an excellent amount of minerals, like calcium, and vitamins. These characteristics, along with the complete absence of lactose, make it perfect for any age, for athletes seeking a natural energy source, and for those with intolerances.
