Parmigiano Reggiano PDO

For five generations, the Cravero family has been hand-selecting young wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano from the best farms of Emilia-Romagna and bringing them to their maturation caves in Bra, a village in central Piedmont. One of the smaller producers they work with is Caseificio Sociale San Pietro, which is in the town of Benedello di Pavullo. Massimo and Laura Libra produce just six wheels of cheese per day, and they work with five local farms, all of whom feed their animals exclusively on local grass and hay. They are located at an altitude, and because of that, they are permitted to use the designation Prodotto di Montagna (product of the mountain), a designation the Consorzio reserves for high altitude cheeses. Cravero believes the best Parmigiano Reggiano is aged for 24 months, when the flavor is deep and developed, but the cheese still retains enough moisture to be toothsome. We believe the small production and the affinage (the aging) sets this Parmigiano Reggiano apart from wheels available at supermarkets and big-box retailers.

We require 24 hours to process shipping orders. Each order is carefully cut, wrapped, packed, and shipped directly from our shops.

Orders ship Monday–Wednesday to help ensure perishable products arrive fresh and do not sit in transit over the weekend. Orders placed Wednesday–Sunday will ship the following Monday. Holidays and peak periods may affect processing and delivery times.

All shipments are sent via UPS Signature Release. Because our products are perishable, orders are packed to arrive within 1–2 days and are shipped in insulated boxes with ice packs. Melted ice packs are normal and do not indicate spoiled cheese—simply refrigerate your order upon arrival. Please be sure you are home to collect the package from the doorstep. It cannot sit outside all day in the heat.

Please note:

• We do not ship fresh cheese, cooked meats such as pâté, spreads, or platters.
• We cannot ship to PO boxes, APO/FPO addresses, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, or internationally.
• We only ship within the Continental United States.
