* The real deal: Certified DOP Parmigiano Reggiano made in Italy. DOP, or PDO, stands for Protected Designation of Origin. It means that the production of the cheese is regulated, including where it's made, what the animals are fed, ingredients, production techniques, and aging. The Parmigiano Reggiano Consorzio is the regulating body in Italy that requires certain identifying marks on the cheese, like the PARMIGIANO REGGIANO dotted text on the rind, and these specific symbols on the wedge packaging, ensuring the cheese is true Parmigiano Reggiano:
* Careful sourcing: Parmigiano Reggiano we source cheese from a family of small artisan producers we know directly
* Top quality: We choose cheese based on flavor profile, artistry, and quality. 24M and 36M are Export Quality, meaning they receive extra quality testing at 18 months. We pay extra for this additional testing, after which they receive the coveted "Export" stamp that is branded into the rind.
* One-of-a-kind branding & packaging
