Say Cheese

One of the highlights of visiting the town of Reggio - Emilia was to view and sample the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. This cheese is specific to the region of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena and Bologna. The cheese is made from raw milk. It takes 600 liters of milk to make one wheel of cheese (which weighs about 37.5 kgs). It is then aged from 18 to 30 months. It is delicious.
