About Parrano®

Parrano® artfully captures two of the world's best-known cheeses, Parmigiano-Reggiano® and Gouda, to create a truly unique cheese. Its five-month aging time produces a full-flavored cheese with the nutty, buttery characteristics of a Parmigiano-Reggiano and the smooth, creamy texture of a young Gouda making it pleasing for any palate. Parrano's ability to slice, grate, shred and melt helps to elevate everyday meals. Parrano is highly regarded by the industry and was recently honored with high acclaim at the Superior Taste Awards 2013.
