Product Information
The King of Cheeses – a great Parmigiano Reggiano like this is a kitchen staple. Our reggiano from Cantarelli is sweet and savoury with a well-balanced bite. It also has an amazing texture – crumbly and flaky, but still incredibly moist – the result of aging in the family’s naturally ventilated cheese caves, used since the 1800’s for maturing Parmigiano Reggiano. Aged for 36 months and certified organic don’t let a single gram go to waste, grate on pasta or use the rind to flavour soups and stocks. Each wedge comes freshly sliced off the block wrapped in wax paper and sealed to protect the cheese from oxidisation.

Known for its striking deep-orange colour, Mimolette was apparently created to mimic Dutch cheeses during a time of trade restrictions.

Mimolette is very wine friendly, pairing well with a variety of sparkling, white and red wines.
