Essenza Italiana 16/18 months Parmesan – MONTANARI & GRUZZA

98.000 1.509.200 

This is a completely natural cheese, made only with 100% fresh Italian cow milk, rennet, and sea salt, without using any additives or preservatives, and naturally free from lactose. The cheese has been ripened for a minimum of 16/18 months, which means it is of the very highest quality.

Essenza Italiana is made using the same traditional production process as Parmigiano Reggiano. Like Parmigiano, it is crafted from 100% high-quality raw cow’s milk (both full and skimmed), sourced from cows that graze in the lush pastures of Italy. The only difference lies in the use of vegetable rennet instead of the traditional animal rennet, making it suitable for those seeking a vegetarian option.
