Parmigiano San Pietro 2659

There is Parmigiano Reggiano and then there is Parmigiano Reggiano San Pietro, a cheese of rare and exceptional quality. They are a small cooperative supplied by a handful of local farms. The dairy in Emilia Romagna works with milk from ten local farms whose cows have a diet of hay from pastures in the heart of the Apennine mountains. Since 1855, five generations of Cravero family have been selecting and aging Parmigiano Reggiano. The cheese we buy from Giorgio Cravero, as a fifth generation affineur, is the direct result of this cumulative experience, with each cheese carefully matured according to the changing seasons and environment.

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.
