Cravero Parmigiano Reggiano from 2024's deep winter

Parmigiano Reggiano is aged by stagionaturi, a term that has been used in Italy for centuries to describe someone who manages cheese through the seasons (stagioni). They deal with the effects that different temperatures and humidity have on the cheese. "Testa" (head) is the name they give to cheeses made January through April and we have those wheels in stock now.
