Parmigiano Reggiano is synonymous with Italy. Simply seeing its name on a shop label, perhaps thousands of miles away, is enough to make your eyes light up and awaken the desire to taste it. Yet its story does not begin at a delicatessen counter.
To discover it, we must travel to the only place in the world where it can be produced—a territory to which it has been bound for almost a thousand years. We will take you through a landscape of river-crossed plains, alfalfa fields moving in the wind, farmhouses and small villages, art cities and roads climbing slowly towards the hills and the Apennines.
