Over 70 months

Valserena 70-Month Aged Solo di Bruna® Parmigiano Reggiano

The absolute pinnacle of our aging process: nearly six years kept in silence, transformed into pure excellence. The 70-month aged Solo di Bruna® Parmigiano Reggiano by Valserena is the rarity of rarities—a cheese intended for a select few connoisseurs, produced in such limited quantities that it is a collector's item for true gastronomy enthusiasts.

A unique milk, an extreme aging process

Produced exclusively with fresh milk from Brown Swiss cows, our 70-month cheese is the result of nearly six years of patience, dedication, and craftsmanship. Only a very few wheels, selected one by one by our cheesemaker, have the structure and balance necessary to withstand such a long maturation. Most wheels do not pass this selection—only the very best are chosen.

Organoleptic characteristics

After seventy months of aging in our historic cellars in Gainago di Torrile (Parma), the 70-month cheese reaches an unprecedented level of aromatic complexity:

• Color: deep, intense, almost dark amber
• Texture: dry, crumbly, with an extraordinary presence of natural tyrosine crystals
• Aroma: toasted dried fruit, noble spices, leather, antique woods, and balsamic nuances
• Flavor: powerful, concentrated, with exceptional umami and a very long persistence that lingers on the palate for several minutes after tasting
• Consistency: flakes into irregular granules and slivers — every bite is a unique, unrepeatable experience

How to enjoy it

The 70-month should be experienced, not just consumed as food:

• On its own at the end of a meal — to be savored slowly, in silence, as the conclusion to an unforgettable dinner
• With great meditation wines — Marsala Superiore Riserva, Vintage Port, aged Madeira
• With fine spirits — aged rum, VSOP cognac, peated whisky
• As an exceptional gift — the most precious present for those seeking the pinnacle of Italian gastronomy
• Paired with dark chocolate — 85% cocoa or more, for an extraordinary bitter-umami contrast

Recommended pairings

Great meditation wines — Marsala Superiore Riserva, Vintage Port, Vin Santo Occhio di Pernice. Fine spirits — 12+ year aged rum, VSOP cognac, Armagnac, peated whisky. 85% dark chocolate, strawberry tree honey, toasted walnuts and hazelnuts, dried figs.
