Join us this Saturday, October 17, at 11 a.m. in The DLM Cheese Shops as we kickoff our Parmigiano-Reggiano Tasting Day with a special Parm Crack! Watch as our cheesemongers crack open an 80-90 pound wheel of authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano and enjoy tastings of this robust cheese throughout the day.
For decades, we’ve sourced our Parmigiano-Reggiano from brothers Valerio and Giovanni Minelli and Giovanni’s sons Carlo and Luca, who craft their cheese on a family estate just outside of Modena, Italy. Made nearly the same way since the 12th century and produced only in the provinces of Modena, Parma, Reggio Emilia, and parts of Bologna and Mantova, this treasured cheese reflects their knowledge of the land, the cows, and artisan techniques. After one year of aging, each wheel is inspected by the Parmigiano-Reggiano Consortium for maturation, aroma, color, and structure, then branded before continuing to age. Thanks to our relationship with the Minelli family, we receive wheels aged 30 months, longer than most, optimizing flavor, texture, and aroma.
