HOW TO PRESERVE PARMIGIANO REGGIANO PREPACKED PARMA PARMESAN

Our Parmigiano Reggiano is packed and dispatched to our customers very quickly after the moment in which we receive the customer’s order. Upon receipt of the product, we recommend to keep the product refrigerated in order to preserve all its aromatic and organoleptical features. Vacuumpacked Parmigiano Reggiano needs to be preserved at a temperature between 4 and 8°C.
