Parmigiano Reggiano DOP Reserve

This Parmigiano Reggiano “cru” is selected by Guffanti from “caselli” (the dairies dedicated to the production of the “king” of Italian cheeses) in the Emilian provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia and Modena.
These dairies process milk from cows in their own farms, excluding milk managed by the consortium.
As a result, daily production is limited to a few forms.
Furthermore, the cattle, in the period from spring to autumn, are also fed with grass from the Apennine pastures, located at altitudes of up to 700-800 metres.
Grazing on high hills or mountains is a peculiarity for Parmigiano Reggiano, which is traditionally and typically a lowland cheese.
However, the use of these pastures, which began in the first half of the 20th century, allows for the production of milk and therefore cheese with very marked organoleptic qualities.
Obviously, adequate refinement in suitable premises, even prolonged beyond the two years considered “canonical”, is able to further develop these characteristics of excellence.
