The 12-month Parmigiano Mezzano from Caseificio Santa Maria is a cheese belonging to the second category, obtained from wheels that have slight or moderate imperfections in the structure of the paste and/or rind.
Parmigiano Mezzano aged 12 months has only aesthetic or structural imperfections that do not compromise the typical organoleptic characteristics of Parmigiano Reggiano. The result is an authentic product, aged 12 months, with a balanced flavor and a still soft texture, ideal for everyday consumption.
These characteristics do not affect the taste or nutritional quality, but result in a shorter aging period and a different classification compared to first-choice cheeses.
It is produced according to the same specifications as Parmigiano Reggiano PDO, using the same artisanal methods and the same milk, offering an authentic and genuine product, ideal for everyday consumption.
It has a light color, soft texture, fine grain, and a sweet, fresh taste, with lactic hints and notes of milk and fresh grass, coming from the mountain hay that our cows are fed. The unspoiled territory of Polinago in the Modena area gives this Parmigiano Reggiano a clean and natural aromatic profile.
Thanks to its 12-month aging process, this Parmigiano Reggiano is:
rich in calcium and phosphorus, essential for bones and teeth

Authentic Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, produced in the mountains of Modena and delivered directly from the Santa Maria Dairy to your table.
Parmigiano Reggiano di Montagna from Caseificio Santa Maria is produced in the Modena Apennines, in Polinago – Cinghianello, in an authentic natural setting where altitude, clean air, and slow rhythms have a decisive influence on the quality of the milk and cheese.
Production takes place entirely in mountain areas, following a short and controlled supply chain, respecting the territory, biodiversity, and animal welfare. Mountain hay, rich in wild herbs, gives the milk unique characteristics that are reflected in Parmigiano Reggiano with a clean, balanced, and authentic aromatic profile.
Time has a special value in the mountains: the wheels mature slowly, developing complexity, balance, and identity, in full compliance with the Parmigiano Reggiano PDO regulations.
An authentic Parmigiano Reggiano di Montagna, which tells the story of the territory where it is produced.
