Made with 100% fresh, high-quality cow’s milk from cows grazing in the fertile pastures of Italy, this cheese is crafted using the same production methods as Parmigiano Reggiano. The only difference lies in the use of vegetable rennet, making it a suitable option for vegetarians, while still preserving the integrity of classic cheese-making practices.

During its aging process, Essenza Italiana develops a robust, complex flavor with rich nutty and savory notes that become more pronounced as it matures. The texture is firm and crumbly, perfect for grating over pasta, adding to salads, or enjoying on its own with a glass of wine. It is naturally free from lactose, offering a cheese experience that is both authentic and accessible to those with dietary restrictions.

Produced without any additives or preservatives, Essenza Italiana is a completely natural cheese that reflects the high-quality ingredients and dedication to tradition that Italy is known for.
