The traditional marking with the inscription in full “Parmigiano -
Reggiano” is impressed along
the side of the whole cheese and enables the identification even on
small pieces.
One of the characteristics of Parmigiano-Reggiano is a “straw” colored
paste, which indicates that it comes from milk produced by animals
nourished by fresh forage.
Another typical characteristic of Parmigiano-Reggiano is the “flaky”
structure; the paste therefore, in the mature product, comes off in
subtle flakes in keeping with an arrangement of converging rays toward
the form’s center.
