How much protein is in Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese?

Parmigiano-Reggiano is one of the most protein-dense whole foods available. A standard 1 oz (28g) serving provides 10 grams of complete protein—meaning roughly 33% of its total weight is pure protein. Weight-for-weight, Parmigiano-Reggiano contains more protein than lean beef, chicken breast, or fish.

How is an 80 lb wheel of cheese shipped safely?

Whole, uncut wheels of Parmigiano-Reggiano are naturally protected by a thick, durable outer rind. The wheel is shipped securely from our headquarters in Dayton, Ohio, and engineered to arrive within 2 to 3 days via expedited delivery.

How should I store a whole wheel before opening it?

An uncut wheel can be stored in a cool, dry area (such as a wine cellar or cool pantry) prior to opening. Once you cut or break into the wheel, any exposed portions should be tightly wrapped and kept refrigerated.

How long does the cheese last once cut?

Properly wrapped in cheese paper, parchment, or plastic wrap, cut wedges will stay fresh in the refrigerator for several months.

Can Parmigiano-Reggiano be frozen?

Yes! Portions of Parmigiano-Reggiano can be frozen without losing their rich flavor. Wrap individual wedges or grated portions tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing.

How do you cut an 80 lb Parmigiano-Reggiano wheel?

Splitting a whole wheel is a traditional art that requires scoring the rind and using specialized almond-shaped Parmigiano knives (not included) to wedge and split the cheese along its natural grain. Never use a smooth flat blade to slice through a full wheel, as this can crush the natural crumbly texture.
