This is the world-famous Parmigiano Reggiano, sourced directly from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. While others sell pre-packaged wedges that have sat in plastic for months to comply with export rules, we take a different approach. We import whole, certified Parmigiano Reggiano wheels and hand-cut every piece to order right here in our shop. This ensures you experience the signature nutty, savory profile and the delightful crystalline texture exactly as the cheesemakers intended.
We refuse to pre-package our cheese. Every single wedge is hand-cut directly from a whole, imported Parmigiano Reggiano wheel after you place your order. This guarantees you receive the freshest possible piece with the complex aromas fully intact.
| Size | Details | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| 1 lb. wedge (approx. 454 g) | Easy to store; versatile | Weekly cooking, small boards |
| 2 lb. wedge (approx. 907 g) | Great value per pound | Frequent grating and meal prep |
| 3 lb. wedge (approx. 1.36 kg) | Entertaining size; fewer rind edges | Families and hosting |
| Freshly grated (1 lb.) | Grated from the wheel to order | Ready to use immediately |
This is authentic Parmigiano Reggiano, the legendary hard cheese from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. It is a cow's milk cheese made according to centuries of tradition. We specifically select wheels aged for over 24 months to ensure that full, nutty flavor you expect from the "King of Cheeses."
It is a story of quality over bureaucracy. The 'Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium' in Italy enforces a rule: to use the full trademarked name on the label, the cheese must be cut and pre-sealed in Italy. This often means the cheese sits in plastic for weeks before it gets to you.
We disagreed with that. Freshness is everything. We import the official Parmigiano Reggiano wheels, but because we commit the 'crime' of cutting it fresh in our shop to give you a better product, we often use the title 'The King of Cheese.' It is the exact same legendary cheese, just with a passport that reflects our commitment to freshness.
Most stores sell you a wedge that was cut by a machine in a factory month ago. Our cheese is sourced from authentic, certified wheels. We then hand-cut every piece to order. This ensures the moisture content, aroma, and crystalline crunch of the Parmigiano Reggiano are perfectly preserved.
The rind is a natural part of the cheese wheel. While it is too hard to eat raw, it is prized by chefs for simmering in soups, stocks, and sauces. It adds an incredible umami depth to your cooking. Simply save the rinds in your freezer and drop one into your next pot of sauce.
Yes. Due to the traditional production method and the long 24-month aging process, Parmigiano Reggiano is considered naturally lactose-free. However, it does contain milk proteins and is not suitable for those with a dairy allergy.
Yes. To be authentic Parmigiano Reggiano, the cheese must be made with animal rennet according to strict historical regulations. It is not a vegetarian product.
Wrap your wedges in cheese paper or parchment paper, then place them in a loose container or bag in the refrigerator. This allows the cheese to breathe without drying out. Use within 3 to 4 weeks after opening for the best quality.
Yes. Wrap the cheese tightly and freeze wedges for up to 3 months. Note that the texture becomes more crumbly when thawed, which makes it excellent for grating but less ideal for a cheese board. Our freshly grated option also freezes very well.
