(BPT) - For centuries, Parmigiano Reggiano has been at the heart of Italian cooking - transforming everyday ingredients into memorable meals. With its rich, nutty flavor, unmistakable aroma and unique crystalline texture, this Italian classic elevates even the simplest of recipes.

Galbani^®, Italy's #1 cheese brand, offers a certified PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) Parmigiano Reggiano that is produced, prepared and imported directly from Italy's heartland. Made with only three ingredients - milk, salt and rennet - and aged to perfection, Galbani delivers the unmistakable taste of true Italian craftsmanship to the table.

Elevate Classics

Parmigiano Reggiano has long been a cornerstone of Italian cooking, valued for the way it enhances and elevates any dish. Its magic lies in its versatility. Toss it freshly grated over hot pasta or risotto, adding layers of nutty, savory flavor to every bite. Add a rind to a pot of soup, stew or sauce to deepen the taste as it simmers. Finish roasted broccoli, grilled zucchini or sautéed spinach with a generous sprinkle just before serving for a warm, flavorful touch.

Creative Twists for Special Moments

Parmigiano Reggiano's appeal also goes beyond traditional dishes. Toss warm popcorn with butter, rosemary and finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano for an elevated movie-night snack. Shave over a classic Caesar salad. Or make entertaining effortless with a cheese board built around Parmigiano Reggiano wedges, figs, honey and cured meats - no cooking required.

From Italy's Heart to Your Table

Each wheel of Galbani Parmigiano Reggiano begins in a protected area that includes the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna to the left of the Reno River, and Mantua to the right of the Po River in the heart of northern Italy.

It's available in 14- and 24-month 7 oz wedges and 18-month, 2.82 oz cups of grated, shredded and shaved Parmigiano Reggiano - each tightly sealed to preserve peak freshness.
