Parmigiano-Reggiano owes his name to the original area of production. According to legend, this PDO cheese was first produced during the Middle Ages in the geographical area between the provinces of Parma and Reggio Emilia. The peculiarity of Parmigiano-Reggiano is that the milk is used straight from the cows—fresh, without additives or treatment of any kind. Still today, a master from the Consorzio Parmigiano-Reggiano inspects every cheese every 12 months using only a hammer and his ear to see if there are any cracks in the cheese wheel. Cheeses that pass the test are heat branded with Parmigiano-Reggiano’s logo. Sorella Parmigiano-Reggiano comes from selected dairies and it is aged 22 to 24 months.
