The Flavour of Time: Pairings and Recipes with Gonfo’s Parmigiano Reggiano
Behind every wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano del Gonfo lies a story of patience and craftsmanship.
Time is the invisible ingredient that turns simple milk into a masterpiece of flavour — each month of maturation adding a new note, a subtle fragrance, a touch of character.
Maturations
- 24 months – smooth and balanced, ideal for grating or enjoying in fine flakes.
- 36 months – richer and more complex, with notes of toasted nuts and savoury broth, perfect for classic Mantuan dishes.
- 48 months and beyond – crumbly, bold, and enduring, best appreciated with a fine, full-bodied wine.
Serving Suggestions
Parmigiano Reggiano del Gonfo shines alongside local pairings:
- a glass of Lambrusco Mantovano DOC;
- pear mostarda or a drizzle of wildflower honey;
- scattered over pumpkin tortelli or risotto with butter and sage — timeless favourites from the Po Valley kitchen.
