Do you know your Parmigiano Reggiano?




Parmigiano Reggiano is considered to be one of few cheeses to have a very ancient tradition, its history goes as far as the year 1200. In Italy, Parmigiano Reggiano is a symbol of culture and civilization, and for this very reason it is imitated all over the world.

Parmiggiano Reggiano is considered to be the most complete food after maternal milk. Italian pediatricians and geriatricians recommend it for its high nutritional value, for its easy digestibility as well as for its high content in calcium, phosphorous and other minerals. This King of all cheeses contains a whopping 36% protein (more then any other cheese), 28% lipids, 1.3% calcium, 0.7% phosphorous. 100 grams ( 3.57 oz)= 392 calories.

Buy only original parmiggiano reggiano, even small individual wrapped pieces should carry by law the branded symbol. Click on the link above to learn what to look for when buying Parmigiano Reggiano.
