| Description | Parmigiano Reggiano DOP produced with organic raw milk from Friesian cows raised organically in the small hamlet of Ozzola, in the municipality of Fornovo di Taro |
|---|---|
| Appearance | It looks like the classic Parmigiano Reggiano PDO, with a straw-colored rind and a hard and grainy paste, also straw yellow in colour |
| Taste | Slightly more fragrant than the classic version, the taste recalls the characteristic notes of fresh milk, butter and yogurt, typical of the productions of the Gennari Dairy |
| Maturing | At least 20 months |
| Curiosity | The history of the Gennari dairy began in 1953, when Sergio and Maria took over a dairy in Collecchio. At that time three wheels were produced per day. Today the sons of Sergio and Maria also work in the dairy, with a daily production of around 100 wheels and a warehouse of 35,000 wheels |
| Our selection | The fields from where the fodder to feed the cows is produced must be left uncultivated and untreated for 4 years before the hay can be harvested to feed the animals. This is the greatest peculiarity that characterizes the organic Parmigiano Reggiano of the Gennari dairy |
