Description
The Company Montecoppe with its high quality cheese Parmigiano Reggiano, is a perfect example of a short and sustainable supply chain in the sense that forage, milk and cheese are produced and processed within the same agricultural reality: the Boschi di Carrega Natural Park, a natural oasis a few kilometers from the city of Parma.
It is ensuried maximum control of quality standards and traceability.
The superior quality of Parmigiano Reggiano DOP Montecoppe begins in the fields where forage essences are grown for proprietary breeding: hay, rich in spontaneous herbs typical of this protected naturalistic area, gives the milk and subsequently the cheese a particular aromatic flavor. Traditional processing and the presence of favorable natural conditions give life to an extraordinary product: characteristic smell and aroma, intense and persistent flavor, perfect consistency.
Parmigiano Reggiano DOP Montecoppe originated from the mixing of the milk of two cattle breeds: the Italian Friesian and the Brown (25%).
The brunette’s milk, richer in fat, protein and calcium and phosphorus, particularly suitable in cheese making and maturing.
The result? An extraordinary product, sweet, aromatic and with an excellent predisposition to long aging.
Thanks to the radial structure of the stalls, which are open to the sides, Montecoppe’s herd is raised according to rigorous standards of animal welfare, free to move, with fodder and watering tanks always available.
The dairy, designed by the internationally well renowned architect Guido Canali, combines the rationality of modern environments with the tools of the dairy tradition, to produce a superior quality Parmigiano Reggiano DOP.
Parmigiano Reggiano Montecoppe is definitely a rare and valuable product, because it is highly digestible, rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins and characterized by intense aromatic notes.
Above all, the Montecoppe reserves: the best forms of cheese are selected and then, with a lot of care, work and passion, they are aged for over 60 months.
The forms of Parmesan Cheese DOP Montecoppe are cut into portions ranging from 300 grams up to the eighth wheel, vacuum-packed for a product that is always fresh.
