Parmigiano Reggiano is known around the world as the King of cheeses.

Beginning with Benedictine monks, Parmigiano Reggiano has been hand-crafted for nine centuries in the bucolic countryside of Italy. It is an extraordinary cheese, with amazing aroma and taste, and a unique texture. A purely-natural product it has no additives and their cows are fed on locally-grown plants. Every wheel is slightly different due to the artesian craft of its makers, but still, the taste and complete sensory experience speaks to an unmistakably unique cheese.

This week only, we have Parmigiano Reggiano on sale at Piedmont Grocery for the crazy-low price of $15.99 per pound. So, treat yourself.
