Parmigiano-Reggiano is produced in the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Mantua, Bologna, and Modena.
Parmigiano-Reggiano owes his name to the original area of production. According to legend, this PDO cheese was first produced during the Middle Ages in the geographical area between the provinces of Parma and Reggio Emilia. The peculiarity of Parmigiano-Reggiano is that the milk is used straight from the cows—fresh, without additives or treatment of any kind.
Still today, a master from the Consorzio Parmigiano-Reggiano inspects every cheese every 12 months using only a hammer and his ear to see if there are any cracks in the cheese wheel. Cheeses that pass the test are heat branded with Parmigiano-Reggiano’s logo.
Sorella Parmigiano-Reggiano comes from selected dairies and it is aged 22 to 24 months before it is shipped.
Sorella Parmigiano-Reggiano is perfect grated over pastas, risottos and soups. It can also be eaten as a snack and can be great combined with a glass of wine.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
2 bunches (about 2 pounds) asparagus, tough ends snapped off
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 cup grated Sorella Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the vinegar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, swirling the pan occasionally, until the vinegar is reduced by half, anywhere from 7 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the saucepan. Remove from the heat.
Bring a pot of water to boil. Add 1 tablespoon of the salt and the asparagus and blanch until barely tender, about 1 minute for spears of average thickness, more for thicker spears and less for skinnier ones. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Pat the asparagus dry with paper towels.
Place the asparagus in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet or, if necessary, two sheets. Sprinkle the spears with salt to taste, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil, and turn to coat. Shower the asparagus with the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
Bake until the spears are tender and the cheese is browned and almost bubbling (it won’t actually melt), about 5 minutes.
Use a spatula to shimmy the asparagus from the baking sheet to a platter. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the reduced balsamic and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Serve immediately, with the remaining reduced balsamic vinegar on the side.
Serves 4-6.
