Where Parmigiano Reggiano is born

Rind:

dotted inscription, serial number, PDO and Consortium marks

Thickness:

the thickness and texture of the rind are a natural protection for the cheese against external agents.

Tyrosine crystals:

the small white dots in the cheese paste are crystals of the amino acid called tyrosine and are an indication of maturation.

Colour:

from straw yellow to more intense straw yellow, uniform or not uniform. Maturation makes the colour more intense.

Eyes:

small holes are admitted if less than 2mm in diameter
