Aged Parmigiano Reggiano: this is what 40 months tastes like
Parmigiano Reggiano aged a minimum of 40 months is a different product entirely from anything you find pre-grated or vacuum-packed at the supermarket. The extended aging concentrates the flavour into something deeply savoury, crystalline and complex: salty, nutty, with a long fruity finish that lingers.
How to enjoy Aged Parmigiano Reggiano?
Break it rather than slice it; the texture calls for it. Serve at room temperature with a full-bodied red: an aged Barolo, a Chianti Classico Riserva, or a robust Côtes du Rhône all work beautifully. On the table, pair it with our Saucisson Sec (Aged French Style Salami) for a charcuterie board that needs nothing else, or shave it over pasta, risotto or a simple rocket salad in a way that younger parmesan never will.

The cheeses and salami are amazing! Love everything from them have been buying from them for 10 year + since they were at redcliffe markets when I was a teenager. The goats cheese are my favourite so much flavour salami is like the salami you get in France 🇫🇷
Bonjour Audrey, your message made me smile. It was actually 2013 when we were doing the Redcliffe Markets. I’m really grateful for your loyalty since and happy to hear the cheeses and saucisson still hit the spot. Merci, Philippe

i was expecting more taste and aroma from the reggiano.
Bonjour Wendy, thank you for your note about Parmigiano Reggiano (minimum 40 months), sorry it did not deliver the intensity you expected and we appreciate the honest feedback.
Philippe
It’s quite tasty but the last 40 month old Reggiano tasted more of fruit. Didn’t know there was such a variation in the same aged cheese.
Bonjour Niall,
I can't talk about your last Parmigiano Reggiano 40 months you tried because you did not get it from us, but we're glad to hear you found our aged Parmigiano Reggiano cheese tasty.
The aging process can bring out different flavour profiles even in Parmigiano Reggiano cheese of similar age.
Slight variations in conditions, such as temperature and humidity during aging, can result in subtle differences.
Obviously milk source is an important factor as well.
The fruity notes in the 40-month variety you mentioned are a great example of this even though the dominant flavour notes for a cheese that has been aged that long should be nutty and umami.
The fruity flavour is more commun in younger cheese and at that level of maturation becomes more 'Hints' rather than a dominant flavour.
May be the Parmigiano Reggiano you tasted before was a younger cheese.
We appreciate your keen palate and hope you continue to enjoy exploring the diverse flavours of our cheeses.
Excellent cheese and very professionally packaged

Bonjour Monica,
Thank you! I'm delighted you loved the Parmigiano Reggiano and found it perfect for pasta.
This is by far the best I have ever had, I cant rave about this enough. Will sure be buying this again. The remaining cheese I have is looking grim as a comparison. My 5 year old loves it as well and that is saying something. :)
Bonjour Chas,
Thank you! I'm thrilled you think this is the best Parmigiano Reggiano you've ever had and that your 5-year-old loves it too.
Beautifully packaged. Arrives in great condition.

Bonjour Louis,
Thank you for enjoying the Parmigiano Reggiano. Looking forward to serving you again!
The quality of the cheese is good but you supplied two prepacked slices of parmesan instead of one piece as ordered! Please do better next time!
Bonjour Ulrich,
Thank you for your feedback on the Parmigiano Reggiano. I'm sorry to hear about the mix-up with your order. We'll strive to do better next time.
Thoroughly enjoyed the parmigiano - excellent flavor and texture. Highly recommend.
