Parmigiano Reggiano DOP 36 months – MONTANARI & GRUZZA

Parmigiano Reggiano 36 months is a cheese that represents the culmination of over three years of craftsmanship, patience, and tradition. Aged for 36 months, it develops an even more profound depth of flavor than its younger counterparts, with a complex profile that includes nutty, savory, and slightly fruity notes. The texture becomes firmer and more crumbly, with the characteristic granular texture that makes it perfect for grating or serving in large chunks.

The cheese’s flavor profile evolves during the long maturation process, where sharp, piquant notes gradually mellow into rich, umami-driven sensations. Its natural sweetness intensifies, complementing the saltier notes and providing a perfect balance of flavors. Parmigiano Reggiano 36 months is ideal for pairing with fine wines, cured meats, and fresh fruits, and can be enjoyed on its own or as a complement to gourmet dishes.

Made from the finest cow’s milk in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, Parmigiano Reggiano is one of the most prestigious cheeses in the world. With each bite, you experience the essence of Italy’s centuries-old dairy tradition, as well as the pure, natural flavors that make this cheese a culinary treasure.
