• Here’s the reason 100 Dairies are protesting (and they aren’t the only ones).

    This may be OK just for one week, or just for one packet, but to see deals of this type for the King of Cheeses isn't good for anyone. [...]

  • Protest by 100 Dairies

    Yesterday, I happened to be browsing through the “Gazzetta di Reggio” as a result of which I learned about the ongoing protest by 100 Dairies who've been put on the ropes by the current economic crisis. The Dairies in Reggio Emilia, also called “Caselli,” produce Parmigiano Reggiano and represent a significant part of the region's history. Twenty years ago there were 1800, [...]

  • Cà de Noci – treasure of the territory

    I spent Sunday afternoon at Cà de Noci, accompanied by four men from Los Angeles who were looking for AUTHENTIC Emilian produce. Presently, I'll tell the full story of the visit, but for now, all I'll say is they were convinced that we (along with many other undervalued tourist spots), are the territory of the future! :-) [...]

  • Its Sugo Time!!

    Harvest Time is upon us, a time for grapes, grape juice, fruit flies and..Sugo! Who doesn't remember this "pudding", which tastes of slightly crushed grapes that we start eating on early Autumn evenings? For those who've never heard of it, and those who'd like to try it, here's the recipe: - 1 liter of filtered, fresh grape juice (preferably black) - 200 g of flour Bring the gra [...]

  • Parmigiano Reggiano Fakes on “Striscia la Notizia”

    "Striscia La Notizia" is back, and has gone to work on Gastronomy again, but fortunately with a slightly more constructive approach than the one it used to investigate Molecular Cuisine a few months ago. In an episode broadcast a few days ago, the agents of Striscia la Notizia's "Witch Hunting Section" interviewed Giuseppe Alai, President of the Consorzio Parmigiano Reggiano, [...]

  • The Opening of the Parmigiano Reggiano Tasting Championship

    October 5th is the official start of the Parmigiano Reggiano Tasting Championship. Organized by the Assaggiatori Parmigiano Reggiano (APR), this peculiar season involves a series of head-on clashes between the main Provinces of Origin: Reggio Emilia, Parma, Modena (those of Mantova and Bologna apparently didn't have enough "athletes" to form a team). No special sporting skills are re [...]

  • Video: Separating and Blending Parmigiano Reggiano

    We wanted to produce a video about the production of Parmigiano Reggiano, so we contacted Master Cheesemaker Cristian Pederzoli, and asked him to tell us about his work. Initially, we thought that the main star of our film would be the King of Cheeses itself, however, we now realize the true heroes are the workers, because without their love and dedication, the product wouldn't exist at all. Don' [...]

  • The mysterious Mother Vinegar

    Only last Sunday, I was asked (begged actually) to procure "a bit of Mother" in a little jar for "a friend (a Restaurateur) who was willing to pay any price I wanted". Not to mention another client in the United States, who also offered to pay any price for a jar with "Mother" in it, to use in his home-made vinegar. Hang on a minute - who on Earth is this Mother? [...]

  • Video: Adding the Whey

    Second part of the video about the production of Parmigiano Reggiano, with Master Dairyman Cristian Pederzoli. The video was made in July 2009, on location at the beautiful Castellazzo Dairy. After the video, you'll find a full transcript of the interview. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIp1hZOfw64 THE STAGES INVOLVED IN PARMIGIANO REGGIANO PRODUCTION 3.
