Parmigiano Reggiano
cheese is one of Italy's great
export success stories.
To impress your friends,
read on.
2,700,000 tons of 'Parmigiano-Reggiano'
are sold every year and are
produced in 650 small factories.
Each produces no more than
5 or 6 tubs or 'forms' of
cheese every day and this
is the secret to its quality.
For some reason large scale
manufacturing does not lead
to the same quality of output
and the methods used have
not changed much from a document
still in existence from the
13th century.
The areas of production include
the provinces of Bologna (left
bank of the river Reno), Mantova
(right bank of the river Po),
Modena, Parma and Reggio Emilia.
