Over 60 months

Valserena 60-Month Aged Solo di Bruna® Parmigiano Reggiano

The jewel of our cellar: five years of history in every sliver. The 60-month aged Solo di Bruna® Parmigiano Reggiano by Valserena is a product for true connoisseurs of taste — one of the rarest and most prized cheeses in the world, produced in extremely limited quantities by the oldest active Parmigiano Reggiano dairy.

A unique milk, an unrepeatable cheese

Produced exclusively with fresh milk from Brown Alpine cows, our 60-month aged cheese represents the absolute peak of what this extraordinary milk can express after five years of aging. Only a very few wheels, hand-selected by our cheesemaker, are left to rest for five long years in our historic cellars in Gainago di Torrile, Parma.

Organoleptic characteristics

After sixty months of aging, the 60-month cheese reaches an unattainable level of aromatic complexity:

• Color: intense amber, almost burnished
• Texture: dry, sandy, with abundant and pronounced tyrosine crystals
• Aroma: intense toasting, dark spices, mineral notes, and a slight animal scent
• Flavor: pure concentrated umami — savory, complex, with a persistence on the palate that lasts for minutes after tasting
• Consistency: it flakes into irregular granules; each sliver is a unique experience

How to enjoy it

You don’t just eat 60-month aged cheese — you celebrate it:

• In slivers as a digestive — to be savored in silence, as the conclusion to a grand dinner
• With high-quality fortified wines — Marsala Vergine, vintage Port, Madeira
• With dark spirits — a small sip of peated whisky or cognac between slivers
• As an exclusive gift — a package of 60-month aged cheese is the most refined gift a food lover can receive
• On its own — with nothing to distract from the unique sensory experience

Recommended pairings

High-quality fortified wines — Marsala Superiore Riserva, vintage Port, Vin Santo del Chianti. Dark spirits — peated whisky, cognac, aged grappa. Intense chestnut honey, 70% dark chocolate, walnuts, and toasted hazelnuts. To be savored in silence, at the end of a meal, as the conclusion to a grand dinner.
