Parmesan
BelGioioso Parmesan is made with fresh milk gathered daily from our local farmers. Each wheel is aged in special caves for over 10 months. BelGioioso’s Master Cheesemakers carefully inspect and hand-turn each wheel to ensure a consistent aging process. This expert care develops Parmesan’s sweet, nutty flavor and tantalizing aroma. Its versatile texture lends itself to most any dish.
