There is no such thing as "Parmesan cheese" in Italy—this term refers to an American imitation made with additives like potassium sorbate and cellulose powder. In contrast, authentic Parmigiano Reggiano from Italy is naturally rich in flavor and crafted without preservatives.

Parmigiano Reggiano, a DOP-protected cheese, is exclusively produced in the Parma region of Italy, where unique soil, climate, and traditional techniques have been passed down for over 800 years. Made from partly skimmed cow’s milk, our Parmigiano Reggiano is aged for a minimum of 30 months, delivering an intense umami flavor with incredible nutritional benefits, including being rich in protein and calcium.

A wedge of Parmigiano Reggiano is a versatile ingredient for any kitchen. Whether you’re grating it over pasta, shaving it into a fresh salad, or adding a burst of flavor to a soup or pesto, this cheese elevates every dish. Explore our selection and taste the difference of real Parmigiano Reggiano.
