The Flavour of Time: Pairings and Recipes with Gonfo’s Parmigiano Reggiano
Behind every wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano del Gonfo lies a story of time and patience.
Time is the invisible ingredient that transforms milk into a symphony of flavours: each month of ageing adds a new shade, a note, an aroma.
The Ageings:
24 months: harmonious and balanced, perfect for grating or tasting in flakes.
36 months: more complex, with hints of dried fruit and meat broth — ideal for traditional Mantuan dishes.
48 months and beyond: crumbly texture, intense and lingering flavour, best enjoyed with full-bodied wines.
Perfect Pairings
Parmigiano Reggiano del Gonfo pairs beautifully with many local flavours:
a glass of Lambrusco Mantovano DOC;
pear mostarda or wildflower honey;
shaved over pumpkin tortelli or butter and sage risottos — dishes that embody the soul of the Po Valley countryside.
An Italian Icon
Today, Parmigiano Reggiano del Gonfo stands as an ambassador of Italian taste around the world.
Every flake tells of centuries of history, of patient hands, and of a generous land that continues to offer authentic emotion.
Tip:
For the perfect tasting, serve Parmigiano at room temperature and pair it with a few drops of traditional balsamic vinegar or a sweet Mantuan dessert wine.
A simple experience that captures all the poetry of the Bassa Mantovana.
