Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese- DOP

Aged 24 months Wedge - approx 1.25 lb, hand cut size 

Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese, Italy's finest. Loved world-wide as one of the world's great cheeses! Aged 24 months. You'll love it with pasta, salads, sauces, or all by itself. The milk used is unpasteurized, from free-range cows. The milk is left overnight so that the cream can be skimmed off the next day and added with the fresh morning milk, making it a partially skim mixture. The texture of Parmigiano Reggiano is hard and grainy and its flavors are rich, nutty, and sweet with undertones of salt.

Know your cheese....Parmigiano Reggiano -
Acronyms like DOP show that the product — be it pecorino or prosciutto — is legally guaranteed to be "authentic," or made in the original town or region with real ingredients. (In other words: Parmigiano Reggiano DOP promises that there are no wood chips in "Parmesan cheese" allowed.) For example:
DOP
Denominazione d’Origine Protetta | Protected Designation of Origin
The DOP label guarantees that your favorite cheese, prosciutto, olive oil, etc., is produced, processed, and packaged in a specific geographical zone and according to tradition. Each step, from production to packaging, is regulated.
