Parmigiano Reggiano is a cheese with unique characteristics that deserves adequate storage to preserve its unmistakable flavor and aroma. At Latteria Mogliese, we are committed to providing you with the best advice to keep the quality of your Parmigiano Reggiano intact, whether pre-vacuum-packed or fresh.
Pre-packaged vacuum-packed Parmigiano Reggiano can be temporarily stored at room temperature in stores without compromising its characteristics. However, once purchased, it is preferable to keep it in the refrigerator. The ideal temperature for vacuum-packed Parmigiano Reggiano is between 4°C and 8°C. This temperature range ensures that all the organoleptic properties of the cheese remain unchanged.
When you buy a piece of fresh Parmigiano Reggiano or remove it from the vacuum pack, it is essential to store it properly in the refrigerator. The ideal temperature remains between 4°C and 8°C. For optimal storage, Parmigiano Reggiano must be kept:
- At an optimal humidity level.
- Away from other foods, as the fatty part of the cheese can absorb surrounding odors.
To keep Parmigiano Reggiano in the best condition, we suggest using glass or plastic containers. Alternatively, wrapping cheese in food film may be a practical solution.
Here are some additional tips:
- Airtight containers: Use airtight containers to protect the cheese from air and external odors.
- Food film: Wrapping Parmigiano Reggiano in food film helps maintain the right humidity and avoid contamination with other odors.
- Do not freeze: Avoid freezing Parmigiano Reggiano, as the freezing process can alter its structure and flavor.
Periodically check the condition of Parmigiano Reggiano to ensure that there are no alterations in the storage conditions. A sealed and intact package is essential to avoid exposure to air, which could compromise the quality of the cheese.
At Latteria Mogliese, we want to ensure that your Parmigiano Reggiano always maintains its authentic flavor and its distinctive characteristics. Follow these tips to get the most out of this fine cheese.
