Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese 4.5lb

Parmigiano Reggiano has a granular, crumbly structure – even though it is considered a “hard” cheese, if you stick the tip of a knife in it and twist it will break into irregular nuggets, much like a boulder shattered with a sledgehammer. The cheese contains tiny crunchy granules which give it a very unique texture. The taste is slightly sharp, not unlike mildly sharp cheddar, but also very complex and layered, a bit fruity, though nutty is the predominant characteristic and most typical descriptive. It leaves a wonderful aftertaste on the tongue.

• Parmigiano Reggiano PDO is made only in its area of origin, it's 100% natural with no addictives or preservatives.
• DOP is a significant legal designation issued by the European Union and stands for “Denominazione di Origine Protetta” (in Italian). In the US it is translated to “Protected Designation of Origin” or PDO.
• Aged for 24 Months.
• One of the most distinctive aspects of authentic Parmigiano Reggiano is the rich, granular texture which varies depending on aging – but is consistently unique.
