Parmigiano Reggiano Fondue
The Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is produced exclusively in the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, and Bologna to the left of the river Reno and Mantua to the right of the river Po. Only raw milk produced in the area of origin is used to produce Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. It is special milk, with a unique and intense bacterial activity by the autochthonous microbial flora, and influenced by environmental factors, especially the local forage, grass and hay. Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is used in multiple dishes in Italy. Here's a recipe for Parmigiano Reggiano Fondue:
