Hy everybody,
it is not very easy to find some original Parmigiano Reggiano DOP 24 months aged in Indonesia, isn't it?
Well, now I can help all the lovers of that unique cheese!!!
I import it from Italy to Bali and can delivery in all Indonesia.

At this stage of aging Parmigiano Reggiano has reached the optimal stage to be tasted: it expresses a wealthy mix of aromas and flavors in perfect balance to nose and palate .Strong notes of butter and milk add up to a tasty flavours and soluble, crumbly and grainy texture. It can be sampled with fresh and/or dried fruits, dense vinegar and grated on basic and fine cuisine courses.
Produced from the milk of Red Reggiana Cows, and exclusively worked in the zone of origin in Italy according to antique artisan methods and traditions, Parmigiano-Reggiano is lower in fat and sodium and higher in vitamins and minerals. It contains 19 of 21 amino acids the body needs, and a 1-ounce serving provides as much as 30 percent of a person's RDA for calcium. All this makes it a perfect meal for adults and kids and a perfect side with all meals.

Thanks for your attention

If the price is not part of the pitch, rest assured it (whatever it is) is no bargain.

I pay about 300k a kilo, and bring a huge wedge from Costco. Not sure if it's aged 24 months, but it's great quality.

 

[marsel]

Dear Jamie, for 300k not only is not aged, but even not from Italy, maybe made in Australia or New Zeland, cant compare with the original!!!
For expample, in Bali, at Carefour, a Parmigiano Reggiano not aged, branded Galbani, it cost around 900.000/KG

You must mean it isn't aged as long since if there were no aging at all it would still be a curd.

Actually Costco has actual Italian Parm Reggiano, which is what I buy. The last time I got their Italian Romano, which tastewise, I like a little more, as it's made from goat cheese, I think.

They only show the BelGioioso on their web site even for Romano and Astiago. Good Wisconsin cheeses.

Whole 72 pound wheel, $899. They have smaller pieces like I buy for about the same price per pound yet.

Stores and online have different stock. I'm sure the Wisconsin stuff is good. I'm not a cheese snob, so if it tastes good, I'll eat it!

 

[jstar]

Goat milk. Yeah, Romano is more 'sharp'.

 

[marsel]

well, would be very long to write here what is the original Parmigiano Reggiano, you can get any information following this link http://www.parmigianoreggiano.com/made/strength_points/default.aspx
About the cheese you mentioned, first 10 mounth is not aged, is just the natural time that the cheese need to bacome "cheese", Parmigiano Reggiano can be defined aged starting from 12 months
second, thats the trick, the cheese you post is called "Parmisan" just because it is NOT Parmigiano Reggiano, even if The brand is italian, it is produced in others countries, so cannot be marked as Parmigiano Reggiano
Parmigiano Reggiano is certified only one produced in the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna (left of the river Reno) and Mantova (to the right of the river Po) and thats all, al the rest is just poor imitiation, so far from the taste of the ORIGINAL!!!
Hopefully I been clear, tks

Good marketing is building up your brand. Not cutting down the competition. I have tried many different Parmigiana cheeses and to be honest, there is very little difference in the better products. Your Parmigiano Reggiano is a brand. It has had good marketing and calls itself the best. There are in fact that there are quite a few quality cheese producers in the world. The example you say is only 10 months old actually states aged over 10 months. Could be 12, 14, 16, who knows? Kind of like Colombian coffee. Rated as one of the worst in the world but Mr. Juan Valdez and his donkey sure changed that.

Probably you never tried an original ones, the difference is made yust from the cows that grow up only in that italians area, living in free grazing, eating natural food, drinkin natural water and consequently produce a unique milk, made every day by many cheese masters who turn milk into cheese following the traditional process.
About aged, the process stop when the wheel see the light and is stamped, witch mean that if you buy a parmigiano 12 months aged, it remain a 12 months aged also after 1 year.

OK, I'm sure your cows are raised differently then any other cheese maker in the world.

The link I provided was for a 72 pound wheel, Parmigiano Regiano, aged 24 months. Just posting nonsense does you no favors.

C'mon guys - while I agree that the OP's sooper-secret "you have to PM me for the price" strategy is probably a bad one, it would be kind of nice for the health of the forum if we were a bit more cordial to newcomers. Personally, I have not found most of the parmesan I can buy in the grocery stores here to be very good. If there is a tasty alternative, it's something I'd like to know about.
