PARMIGIANO REGGIANO VACCHE ROSSE – 40 MONTHS AGED

Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Rosse – The Excellence of Reggio Emilia

Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Rosse is not just a cheese, but a gastronomic and cultural heritage deeply rooted in the thousand-year history of Emilia.
The Red Cows of Reggio Emilia, from which this unique milk is obtained, are an ancient breed already raised by Benedictine and Cistercian monks during the Middle Ages. Thanks to these strong and long-lived cows, the monks gave birth to the very first Parmigiano Reggiano.

Milk from Vacche Rosse has exceptional qualities: it is naturally rich in casein and beta-carotene, making it particularly suitable for long ageing and giving the cheese its intense straw-yellow colour.
Compared to traditional Parmigiano Reggiano, this cheese is more digestible thanks to a different protein structure, making it ideal for children and for those with a sensitive digestion.

Nutritional Properties and Benefits

Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Rosse is a natural and genuine food, produced using only three ingredients: milk, rennet, and salt.
It contains no preservatives or colourings and, thanks to its production process, is naturally lactose-free (lactose is transformed by lactic bacteria within the first 48 hours). It contains only trace amounts of galactose (<0.01 g/100 g).

It is an excellent source of high biological value proteins, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins, making it ideal for athletes, children, the elderly, and anyone seeking a nutritious and easily digestible food.
