FROM A HIGHER GROUND

FROM A HIGHER GROUND

Iconic Locatelli now is offering an authentic Parmigiano Reggiano – from a higher ground

After more than 100 years, a legend is back. Locatelli Parmigiano Reggiano di Montagna is back in the U.S. A premium mountain-aged cheese born from Italy’s Apennine highlands and crafted with heritage by the Auricchio family. Aged 24 months at over 1,000 feet above sea level and certified Prodotto di Montagna. The result: a rich, complex flavor shaped by time, altitude, and the gentle Marino winds of the Mediterranean.

Now available in convenient 200g (7oz) wedges, and in 1/8th and 1/4 wheel formats — this is Parmigiano Reggiano as it was meant to be.

To carry the “Prodotto di Montagna’ label a product must:

#1

Be produced in a mountain area — as defined by EU regulations, this includes altitudes above a certain level or regions with steep slopes and difficult farming conditions.

#2

Use ingredients primarily from mountain areas — the majority of raw materials must come from mountain zones.

#3

Be processed in mountain areas — meaning transformation or production steps (like aging cheese, smoking meats, or fermenting dairy) must also happen within those regions.
