Half wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano DOP aged over 100 months, limited edition. Shipping included.

Parmigiano Reggiano 100 months is a rare excellence, the fruit of patient waiting and artisanal production rooted in the age-old Emilian cheesemaking tradition. It is made from the highest-quality milk, expertly transformed into a cheese that is carefully aged for over eight years. This extraordinary maturation gives Parmigiano Reggiano a profound aromatic complexity and an unmistakable texture, capable of expressing the time that has shaped it. The cheese is a deep amber yellow in color, marked by a pronounced graininess and abundant tyrosine crystals, evidence of proper and prolonged maturation. The flakes fall off almost naturally, irregular and crumbly, offering a surprising solubility on the palate. The initial impact is bold: intense aromas and flavors, with lactic, spicy, and toasted notes, anticipating a deep and satisfying taste. On the palate, this 100-month Parmigiano Reggiano expresses rich notes of umami—the flavor that enhances and prolongs the flavor—combined with nuances of dried fruit, concentrated broth, bitter cocoa, and black pepper. It releases complex aromas and a lingering aftertaste, the result of a long maturation during which the cheese dries out and the proteins break down, perfecting its unique, crumbly texture. This 100-month-aged Parmigiano Reggiano is not only a masterpiece of flavor, but also a natural powerhouse of vitamins, proteins, and minerals. This makes it particularly suitable for those with a limited appetite: small amounts are enough to provide a high dose of essential nutrients, without sacrificing the pleasure of an intense and enveloping flavor. Naturally lactose-free, with no added additives, and easy to digest, it's a healthy and complete choice for those seeking the best in nutritional value.

Parmigiano 100 months is the result of rigorous selection: only a few wheels, the most intact, are allowed to reach this advanced maturation stage. Exclusive and rare, it is designed for those seeking authentic and unforgettable experiences. Perfect for special occasions or as a gift for those who celebrate excellence, it is the flagship product of our shop.

Pairings:

Parmigiano Reggiano 100 months is a cheese for meditation, to be savored slowly. It pairs perfectly with Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP aged over 25 years, which brings out its nuances, or with chestnut honey with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Pear or fig mustards add a sweet and sour touch, while meditation wines like Marsala, Passito, or Sagrantino, and noble spirits like very mature grappas, aged rums, or peaty whiskies, complete the sensory experience.
