How Mountain Parmigiano Reggiano is produced

To produce a single wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano of 38-40 kg, about 550 liters of milk are needed.

The processing of Parmigiano is strictly regulated by the DOP disciplinary.

The production of Parmesan starts early in the morning, the freshly milked milk is combined with that of the evening milking the day before, which had time to rest and skim naturally.

Processing

The two milks are poured into copper boilers in the shape of an inverted bell, where the milk coagulates following the addition of calf rennet and whey (residue from the previous day's cheesemaking, very rich in lactic ferments essential for production. of cheese).

Once the curd is formed, it is fragmented into small pieces with the help of an ancient tool called a spino.

The broken curd is then heated until it reaches 55 ° C, the temperature at which the curd, now cooked, precipitates to the bottom of the copper boiler.

Seasoning

After about fifty minutes of rest, the mass is extracted by the cheesemaker and placed first in a cloth and then in the mold that will give it its final shape.

The wheel is then immersed in a solution of water and salt, within which about a month will pass, so as to be ready for its long maturing process.

Parmigiano Reggiano must age at least 12 months before being marketed, but it is from 24 months of aging that it reaches the apex of quality and taste.
