Parmigiano Reggiano is far more than a cheese – it is a timeless symbol of Italian craftsmanship, born from patience, tradition, and artisanal skill. Behind every wheel lies a simple truth: time is the real secret ingredient. The slow process of maturation shapes its unique textures, flavours, and aromas, offering an experience that evolves with every stage of ageing.
Strict production rules protect the authenticity of Parmigiano Reggiano. No additives, no shortcuts – just three ingredients: milk, rennet, and salt. These are transformed by the cheesemaker’s expertise and, above all, by the passing months and years, during which the cheese matures, dries, and deepens in flavour.
Ferrari Bio, a family-run organic farm nestled in the Reggio Emilia Apennines, has dedicated itself entirely to organic methods. Each stage of their work respects nature, from the cows’ wellbeing to the sustainable handling of resources. Yet, the real magic unfolds inside their ageing cellars, where wheels of cheese are left to rest and evolve, day after day, until they are ready to reach the table with distinctive character.
A Journey Through Time: From Delicate to Intense
-
Organic Parmigiano Reggiano DOP 15/18 months
Fresh and youthful, with a delicate flavour and pale straw-yellow colour. Its supple texture makes it ideal for light appetisers, salads, or enjoyed with crisp fruit like apples and pears. Naturally sweet, it is also a gentle introduction for children to the world of Parmigiano. -
Organic Parmigiano Reggiano DOP 22/24 months
The “classic” ageing, with a crumbly texture, small flavour crystals, and a richer aroma. Balanced and versatile, it is perfect grated over pasta, stirred into risotto, or simply savoured on its own with a fruity young red wine. This is the must-have cheese for every kitchen. -
Organic Parmigiano Reggiano DOP 30+ months
Bold and complex, with notes of dried fruit, broth, and subtle spices. Its granular texture invites the traditional ritual of breaking it open with the almond-shaped knife. A cheese for true connoisseurs, it shines in gourmet pairings with mature red wines, balsamic vinegar, and dark honeys such as chestnut or linden.
Each maturation offers a different story, like three personalities within the same extraordinary cheese: delicate, balanced, or intense. Together, they show why Parmigiano Reggiano remains a universal food – adaptable to every palate, occasion, and generation.
By choosing Ferrari Bio’s Parmigiano Reggiano, you are not only tasting a product of exceptional quality, but also embracing a philosophy: respecting tradition, protecting nature, and celebrating the simple joy of sharing good food.
