Emilia Romagna
Massimo and Laura Libra, the makers of Parmigiano Reggiano San Pietro, only produce twenty wheels of cheese per day.
There is Parmigiano Reggiano — and then there is Parmigiano Reggiano San Pietro, a cheese of rare and exceptional quality. Produced by a small cooperative supplied by just ten nearby farms in Emilia-Romagna, the dairy works with milk from cows fed on hay from pastures in the heart of the Apennine mountains.
Since 1855, the Cravero family have specialised in selecting and ageing Parmigiano Reggiano. Having carefully chosen the wheels at around 12 months of age, fifth-generation affineur Giorgio Cravero brings them to his ageing rooms in the town of Bra, where they are matured further under ambient conditions. Here, Cravero and his team monitor each wheel closely, responding to shifts in temperature and humidity to guide the cheese to full maturity before selecting wheels at around two years of age to send to us in London.
The Parmigiano Reggiano we buy from Giorgio Cravero is the result of this long accumulation of experience: a cheese whose final character reflects both carefully produced milk and the ambient maturation that gives it added depth and individuality.
Cheese Maturer Giorgio Cravero visits us twice a year, and we visit his maturing rooms in Bra, Piedmont biannually on our visit to Slow Food cheese festival in Bra.
