Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Rosse (40 months) from Grana d’Oro is the pinnacle of Italian cheesemaking mastery. Made exclusively from the milk of the rare Rossa Reggiana breed, it is aged for over three years, developing an exceptionally rich, layered, and intense character.
Its crumbly texture and warm golden hue lead to enticing flavors of dried fruit, toasted grains, honey, and spices, all coming together in a long, elegant finish. The cows’ natural diet – grass and hay from the diverse meadows of Emilia-Romagna – gives this cheese a distinctive aromatic profile. Naturally lactose-free, rich in calcium and protein, it is not only a gastronomic delight but also a nutritionally valuable product.
Perfect for savoring on its own with a glass of full-bodied red wine or a few drops of traditional balsamic vinegar, it also elevates the finest dishes to a new level.
Producer
Grana d’Oro is a family-run dairy from Cavriago, in the heart of Emilia-Romagna, dedicated for generations to producing Parmigiano Reggiano from the milk of the rare and native Rossa Reggiana cows. At a time when many abandoned this breed for higher-yielding alternatives, the Catellani family remained committed to its preservation, recognizing its unique value and the exceptional quality of its milk. Their Parmigiano Reggiano carries the soul of the land – a rich, layered flavor and aroma born from cows grazing on the polyculture meadows typical of the Val d’Enza valley.
Each wheel of cheese is a blend of nature, tradition, and devoted craftsmanship, proving that true quality comes from patience and respect for both the land and the animals. Grana d’Oro is not just a cheese producer, but a guardian of Emilia-Romagna’s cultural and gastronomic heritage.
