Answers:
Parmigiano Reggiano
Pamigiano-Reggiano is a traditional, unpasteurized, hard cheese made from cow's, skimmed milk.
It has a shape of a drum with sticky, hard, yellow to orange rind.
Parmigiano Reggiano weighs 75 lbs. and must be cut by a saw. The aroma is sweet and fruity, the color fresh yellow and the taste - fruity, like pineapple.
Parmigiano Reggiano's flavor is unmistakably piquant. Primarily, a grating cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano is a great topping for soups, pasta dishes, veal chicken or salads.
In Italy, this cheese is sold in large, grainy chunks, chiseled from the shiny drum that carries its name emblazoned on the rind.
It is so valuable that trucks carrying a load of Parmigiano have been hijacked at gunpoint.
hope this helps you to understand about the cheese. enjoy.
