            maturation
            Parmigiano Reggiano over 12 months
            Harmonious flavor with delicate hints of milk and butter. Distinct yogurt-like acidity accompanied by fresh grass and wildflower notes. Both sweet and tangy at once, with no sharp spiciness and no granularity.
            Pair it with
            Spritz – The Venetian
            Venetian bitter, Prosecco, soda
            Gin & Tonic

            Milanese bitter, red vermouth from Turin, splash of soda
            maturation
            Parmigiano Reggiano over 24 months
            The appeal of this maturation lies in its complexity. The lactic acidity of the 24-month stage expands to reveal white pepper spice and the typical aroma of meat broth. Hints of tropical fruit and dried fruit emerge, with a granularity that starts to linger pleasantly on the palate.
            Pair it with
            Pear, cherry, quince, fig jam or bitter orange or lemon marmalade
            At 24 months, Parmigiano Reggiano offers perfect balance, making it ideal for many pairings: from the classic with pear jam to more refined options like cherry or quince, which add a tangy note. Fig jam or bitter orange and lemon marmalades also pair nicely—their slight bitterness contrasting with the cheese’s residual sweetness.

            maturation
            Parmigiano Reggiano over 35 months
            If you love intense flavors, Parmigiano Reggiano aged between 35 and 45 months is perfect for you. Expect strong aromatic intensity with pronounced spicy and smoky notes.
            Pair it with
            Strong Belgian Ale, Doppelbock, Rauch, Sour, Dubbel, Tripel
            The 36-month Parmigiano Reggiano reveals intense aromas: meat broth, cheese rind, melted butter, and spices. Pair it with equally rich beers: Strong Belgian Ale, with alcohol content around 8.5% and lively carbonation to cleanse the palate; Doppelbock, with roasted depth; Rauchbier from Bamberg, with its signature smokiness; fruity and acidic Sour beers; smooth, fine-bubbled Dubbel; and moderately hopped Tripels.
            Strawberry (with black pepper), pumpkin compote, or chestnut jam
            In this aged Parmigiano Reggiano, savory notes and bold aromas—meat broth, cheese rind, spices—take center stage. The ideal match is a sweet contrast: try strawberry compote or chestnut jam for a unique texture and original twist. Aged Parmigiano Reggiano has the complexity to stand up to more structured pairings, like strawberry with black pepper or pumpkin compote infused with the spicy kick of ginger.
            maturation
            Parmigiano Reggiano over 60 months
            Very dry and crumbly. The spice notes fade, leaving a drier profile. At this stage, leather and toasted aromas blend with a lactic freshness.
