Cheeses of Emilia-Romagna
The cheese making tradition is almost 1000 years old in Emilia-Romagna, with both the production of milk and its transformation into cheese taking place in this region, thus making the process truly natural. The secret lies in the place of origin, the natural feed, the high quality milk with no additives, ingredients like rennet and salt and of course the expertise of traditional skills and knowledge of the cheese masters of Emilia-Romagna. The natural fermenting agents in the milk, give the cheese its particular flavour and texture which is fermented for a long age. Did you know that the fermenting period for some cheese varieties can last from 9 months to 24 months?
Emilia-Romagna is famous for the original “Fossa” cheese, the soft-ripened “Robiola” cheese, the hard Italian “Pecorino” cheese, the white fresh “Raviggiolo” cheese, the watery cheese “Squacquerone di Romagna” and the king of all cheese, “Parmigiano‐Reggiano” cheese.
