Parmigiano Reggiano PDO aged over 16 months.

Why choose Parmigiano Reggiano 16 months vs 24 months?

The difference between aging periods is not just a matter of time, but above all of taste, consistency, and culinary use.

Parmigiano Reggiano 16 months

• More delicate and balanced flavor
• Still slightly softer and less crumbly texture
• Greater versatility in everyday cooking
• Perfect for those who use it often and want a harmonious flavor

Ideal for:
pasta, risottos, creamy soups, daily use

Parmigiano Reggiano 24 months

• More intense, bold, and complex flavor
• More granular and crumbly texture
• More pronounced aromatic notes
• Greater persistence on the palate

Ideal for:
tasting in flakes, cheese boards, special pairings.

Which is the best choice?

There is no "absolutely best" choice:

• the 16-month is more versatile and for everyday use
• the 24-month is more for tasting and intensity

Many customers choose the 16-month as a base and the 24-month for special occasions.
