VALSERENA Parmigiano Reggiano Solo di Bruna - 36 Mths - 38kg apx Wheel

Valserena Parmigiano Reggiano Solo di Bruna – 36 Months

This exceptional Parmigiano Reggiano is made exclusively from Solo di Bruna (Brown Cow) milk, a rare and prized variety known for its higher butterfat content and complex flavour profile. Valserena is one of the last true farmhouse producers of Parmigiano Reggiano in Italy, meaning they grow their own feed, raise their own cows, and produce and age their cheese entirely on-site—a level of control and craftsmanship that is increasingly rare.

Aged for 36 months, this cheese is bold, powerful, and textural. Its straw-yellow colour deepens to warm gold, and it develops a drier, more compact structure with an intense aroma. The texture is crumbly and grainy, while the balanced sweetness and bitterness contribute to its depth. Flavour notes of spices, dried fruit, and hazelnut make this an extraordinary representation of one of Italy’s most important DOP cheeses.

Tasting Notes
