Frequently Asked Questions about Valserena Parmigiano Reggiano
What is Parmigiano Reggiano Solo di Bruna and why is it special?
Valserena's Parmigiano Reggiano Solo di Bruna® is produced exclusively with milk from the Bruna Alpina cow breed, one of the oldest and most prized bovine breeds in the world. This milk is naturally richer in proteins, calcium, and fatty acids than milk from other breeds, giving the cheese a more intense flavor, a more granular texture, and superior solubility. The Valserena dairy, founded in 1879, is the oldest Parmigiano Reggiano dairy still in operation.
How can I buy Valserena Parmigiano Reggiano online?
You can purchase directly from our online shop, choosing from various aging periods (12, 24, 30, 36, 48, 60+ months) and sizes (500g, 1 kg, 2 kg, whole wheels). We ship throughout Italy via express courier in 2-4 business days. Shipping is free for orders over €120 in Italy and €190 in Europe.
What are the differences between the aging periods of Parmigiano Reggiano?
Aging deeply influences flavor and texture. The 12-month has a delicate, milky flavor. The 24-month is the classic aging with a perfect balance. The 36-month develops tyrosine crystals and a more decisive flavor. The 48-month is drier and more intense. Beyond 60 months, you get a cheese for true connoisseurs, with woody and spicy notes.
Does Valserena Parmigiano Reggiano contain lactose?
No. Valserena Parmigiano Reggiano is naturally lactose-free thanks to its long aging process. During maturation, lactose is completely transformed into lactic acid by lactic bacteria. It is also rich in calcium (1,160 mg per 100g), easily digestible proteins and B vitamins.
How is Parmigiano Reggiano shipped and stored?
We ship by express courier in isothermal packaging with compostable materials. Store Parmigiano Reggiano in the refrigerator wrapped in cheese paper (8-10°C). Before consuming, let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Once opened, it can be stored for up to 30 days in the refrigerator.
