Its strong, spicy perfume and savoury, intense flavour make Parmigiano Reggiano PDO 40 mesi (40 months maturing) a product with unmistakable characteristics that is increasingly in demand on the tables of consumers. This is why the Parmigiano Reggiano PDO protection Consortium launched the 40 months premium project during a dedicated event held yesterday at the Ferrari Museum in Maranello (Modena).

The minimum maturing period for Parmigiano Reggiano PDO cheese is 12 months (the longest minimum maturing period of all PDO cheeses), but there is no maximum maturing period imposed by the production regulations. Friable, extremely soluble and with a strong personality, 40 months Parmigiano Reggiano is appreciated and used by chefs all over the world as an ingredient to give a touch of “umami” to all dishes.
