    How the KING OF CHEESES is Made in Italy | Red Cow Parmigiano Cheese
    Parmigiano-Reggiano is the king of Italian cheese, and today we get to see how it's made! We're visiting the Consorzio Vacche Rosse to see how they make their distinct version in Reggio Emilia, from cow to finished cheese.
    A huge thank-you to Tania Barbieri and the rest of the Consorzio Vacche Rosse team for showing us around! Follow them on social media: / consorziovaccherosse
    Another big thank-you to Domenica Ganino for helping us film this video ❤️ Check out his photography on Instagram: / nicodemos_pic

    I am from Reggio Emilia. I spent five years studying in the school (High School) just next to the Vacche Rosse's Farm.
    I used to arrive at school early in the morning to spend some time in the stable with those nice animals.
    Great animals, great cheese. Great memories.

    As everyone can see this is the level of dedication it takes to make quality, it's literally an artisanal product and the reason why no matter how much you try to ''fake it'' you will not have the same result. As for real Kobe beef or a Bourgogne wine and so on. It requires specific biomes to happen and a level of investment that is unparalleled. Therefore real mozzarella and Parmigiano are never going to be matched quality wise. Thankfully in our country, regardless of globalization speed standards, we still have many rooted realities that still produce with a more respectful approach toward natural life itself.

    When I lived in Sardegna, I watched an employee in a local shop wrestling those massive wheels and breaking them open to sell. When he would crack open a new wheel and split it into chunks, he would hand out the small pieces that broke off to those of us watching. I tell you, there is *nothing* in this world like a piece of Parmigiano Reggiano only just exposed to air. Eva, you're absolutely right -- it's heaven.

    You can learn something every day! I knew about what authentic Parmigiano Reggian was all about, but did not know about the red cow.. As the years have gone by, I have changed my level of acceptance. I stopped buying the stuff that was not the authentic cheese years ago (no Kraft crap in this house). I also stopped buying canned olives and opt for the deli bins. The differences are not subtle at all. Life is too short to accept substitutes and wannabe's.

    My family has been eating Parmigiano Vacche Rosse for more than a decade now, as a friend of my parents had a few producers from the Consorzio among his clients (he traded in precision scales). It's very difficult to eat 'normal' Parmigiano after getting used to vacche rosse. My parents used to smuggle a few chunks in their suitcases whenever they came visiting me in the UK. I don't use as much parmigiano though so I often ended up giving some to friends, who were very grateful!

    I didn't know this particular parmesan existed and I really need to order it. Interestingly, small dairies here in the Rhineland have a similar milk with this special casein, called A2 milk here. Old breeds of cows produce this kind of milk, which has at least 4% fat and is more digestible. It tastes incredibly good.

    My wife is from Reggio Emilia and I can boast of often having had the pleasure of relatives bringing us (in the UK) large doses of red Parmigiano Reggiano every year or so. One Uncle in particular, a gentleman of leisure, used to sit with us in the evening and eat parmesan and top quality balsamic vinegar with his nightly , yes I do mean nightly , bottle of champagne. He would also mix it up and have his Parmigiano with walnut and pear ( Italian pears of course! ) occasionally too. A real character I can tell you, with plenty of tall tales to tell along with a genuine 'joie de vivre'. Sadly this 'golden' generation are almost gone and we have less visitors and therefore less Parmigiano. Heart-breaking on many levels.
    For those interested the red Parmigiano is considerably more expensive as it is a total luxury, worth every penny.

    Parmesan has naturally occurring monosodium glutamate.
    That's why it taste so much better than other cheeses.

    I only first encountered red cow parmigiano Reggiano In these different aging categories at Eataly this year. It was pricey so felt I had to learn more about it before I tried one to appreciate it more fully. Thank you for the tour. This is tremendous and I’m so happy to learn about it from you guys.

    Thank you so much for doing this video! I LOVE Parmigiano Reggiano! It is my all-time favorite cheese too! There is so much that goes into making this cheese. No wonder why it is so expensive! But like Eva, I too could live on it and nothing more and die happy! Great job, as usual! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    Eva, when you entered that amazing room with the aged wheels, I was thinking it was the door into heaven (why do I hear Led Zeppelin?) and I could happily stay there forever. I’m surprised that y’all didn’t know about the crystals that develop as the cheese ages, only because I knew about that so I assumed that y’all did! Oh, to have a generous hunk of Red Cow Parmigiano-Reggiano.
    Would y’all consider offering a random drawing, or maybe something different, with such a hunk as the prize? No, not you, Harper (although you are admittedly a hunk) - the Red Cow Parm!
