Top Shelf Parmigiano Reggiano 1lb. Cut Fresh and Vacuum Sealed Aged 24 Months

About this Item: They take whole wheels of Parmigiano and Locatelli and crack them open freshly. This process of cracking the wheels is an essential step in the production of high-quality cheese, and it is what gives our cheese a distinct taste and texture that cannot be replicated by pre-packaged or pre-cut alternatives. Cracking the wheels of cheese every morning is a labor-intensive process that requires skill and experience. Pietro, with his expertise, carefully selects the wheels based on their age, ripeness, and other factors to ensure that only the best quality cheese is used. Then, using specialized tools, he gently cracks open the wheels, revealing the creamy interior, and exposing the cheese to oxygen. The exposure to oxygen during the cracking process is crucial as it allows the cheese to develop its full flavor potential. As the cheese interacts with the air, it undergoes a slow process of maturation, which results in a rich and complex taste profile. This process is different from pre-cut or pre-packaged cheese that will lose some of its flavor and character over time.
