Introduction to Valserena

Valserena is not just a name; it’s a legacy in the world of Italian cheesemaking. As one of the oldest family-run dairies in the Parma region, Valserena has been producing premium Parmigiano Reggiano for generations. The dairy is renowned for its commitment to tradition, using time-honoured methods to craft cheeses that are as rich in history as they are in flavour.

The Bruna Alpina Difference

At the heart of Valserena's cheesemaking process is the Bruna Alpina cow, a breed known for its exceptional milk quality. The "Solo di Bruna" label signifies that Valserena's Parmigiano Reggiano is made exclusively from the milk of these cows, which is higher in fat and protein. This results in a cheese that is creamier, richer, and more flavourful than those made from other types of milk.

Valserena’s Traditional Cheesemaking Process

Valserena’s dedication to tradition is evident in every wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano they produce. The cheesemaking process begins with the careful selection of milk, which is sourced from their own herd of Bruna Alpina cows. The milk is then crafted into cheese using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. Each wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano is aged for 24 to 36 months, allowing it to develop a deep, complex flavour with notes of nuts, butter, and a hint of sweetness.

Why Choose Valserena Parmigiano Reggiano?

1. Artisanal Quality: Every wheel of Valserena Parmigiano Reggiano is a product of meticulous craftsmanship, ensuring the highest quality and authenticity.
2. Rich, Complex Flavours: The extended aging process allows the cheese to develop a deep, nuanced flavour that is both robust and delicate.
3. Exclusivity: The "Solo di Bruna" label ensures that you are enjoying a cheese made from the finest milk, offering a taste experience that is truly unique.
