Parmigiano Reggiano in Florence: 24, 36 & 48 Months
Not all Parmigiano Reggiano tastes the same. Ageing has a major influence on its texture, aroma and flavour.
At VINO AL VINO, you can find several different maturations:
- 24-Month Parmigiano Reggiano – balanced and versatile, with a firm but still relatively supple texture and delicate notes of milk, butter and dried fruit.
- 36-Month Parmigiano Reggiano – more intense and complex, with a grainier texture and deeper savoury and nutty flavours.
- 48-Month Parmigiano Reggiano – long-aged, concentrated and structured, with pronounced umami, toasted and spicy notes and the characteristic crystalline texture of mature Parmigiano.
Having different ageing periods available makes it possible to compare the evolution of one of Italy’s most famous cheeses and choose the style that best suits your taste.
Raw Milk Parmesan Cheese
Authentic Parmigiano Reggiano is a raw milk cheese, traditionally produced using cow’s milk, salt and rennet and matured slowly over time.
For visitors searching for raw milk Parmesan cheese in Florence, VINO AL VINO offers carefully selected authentic Parmigiano Reggiano rather than generic industrial “Parmesan-style” cheese.
The distinction is important: Parmigiano Reggiano is a protected PDO (DOP) product, produced exclusively within its designated area in Italy according to specific production rules.
Artisan Organic Mountain Parmigiano Reggiano
Among the highlights of our selection is artisan organic mountain Parmigiano Reggiano, produced from milk connected to high-altitude mountain pastures.
Mountain Parmigiano develops its own distinctive personality thanks to the environment, livestock farming and characteristics of the milk.
It is an excellent choice for travellers looking for something more distinctive than standard supermarket Parmesan: an artisan Parmigiano Reggiano with a strong connection to its place of origin and traditional production.
Vacuum-Packed Parmigiano Reggiano to Take Home
Buying cheese while travelling can be inconvenient, which is why our Parmigiano Reggiano is available vacuum-packed.
Vacuum packaging protects the cheese and makes it easier to transport, making Parmigiano Reggiano one of the most popular Italian food souvenirs to buy in Florence.
Our staff can help you choose between 24, 36 and 48-month ageing, depending on whether you prefer a younger and more balanced Parmigiano or a more intense, crystalline and complex long-aged cheese.
Travellers should always check the current food-import regulations of their destination country before travelling with dairy products.
Where to Buy Good Parmesan in Florence

This selection has made VINO AL VINO a reference point in Florence for visitors looking to buy high-quality Parmigiano Reggiano, particularly those interested in artisan and long-aged cheeses rather than mass-market products.
Parmesan or Parmigiano Reggiano?
International visitors often search online for “Parmesan in Florence”, but the name to look for when shopping is Parmigiano Reggiano DOP.
“Parmesan” is widely used internationally, while Parmigiano Reggiano identifies the authentic Italian PDO cheese produced according to its official specification.
If you want to bring home the real product, look for the Parmigiano Reggiano name and PDO/DOP identification rather than simply choosing a cheese described generically as Parmesan.

Alongside Parmigiano Reggiano, the selection includes Tuscan Pecorino, artisan pasta, Tuscan extra virgin olive oil, aged balsamic vinegar, traditional sauces and preserves, dried Tuscan mushrooms and other carefully selected Italian specialties.
This makes the shop a convenient destination for travellers looking for authentic Italian food gifts and souvenirs in Florence as well as wines and spirits from small Italian producers.
