Parmigiano Reggiano

The Consortium of Parmigiano Reggiano is the official company that associates  all the  producers of Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses. The Consortium was founded in 1934 with the function of protector, defender and promoter of the product, safeguarding its typical characteristics and advertising it to the world. In order to be deemed Parmigiano Reggiano, the cheese must be produced in the area of its origin that comprises the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Mantova  to the right of the Po river and Bologna to the left of the river. The following must happen in this area: the production of milk, the milk’s transformation into cheese, the maturation of the cheese, up to the minimum age ( 12 months) and the packaging and grating of the Parmigiano Reggiano DOP
