Extra-aged Parmesan Reggiano and Porcini mushrooms

The quality Italians demand at the prices the British expect. You don’t always get what you pay for when you shop at the supermarket, in fact you can pay a lot more for Italian specialities of second quality - a quality most Italians would turn their nose up at.The Fine Cheese Co. we buy our Parmesan Reggiano directly from Parma every 2 weeks. We select from the finest producers cheeses aged for 30 months - at least 8 month older than most Parmesan you find in the shops.

At this age it still has a sweet, nutty taste, and a depth of flavour that means adding less to your pasta sauces, as well as giving a ‘stand out’ quality when shaved into salads, or eaten in nuggets with a glass of Vin Santo.Italians also know that the best way to keep Parmesan in the fridge is to buy it vacuum- packed. Just open the end and break off what you need and the cheese will keep for weeks without going ‘waxy’ and hard. Another Italian staple that is so often sold in poor quality is dried Porcini mushrooms. We all have experienced the ‘floor sweepings’ that pass for this very special wild mushroom.

Fruttibosco from Parma sell the finest mushrooms - large slices from prime specimens that will add texture and flavour to your risotto and the brand recommended by Delia Smith in ’How to Cheat’The Fine Cheese Co are offering a 350-380g vacuum pack of 30 month Parmesan Reggiano plus a 20g of Fruttibosco porcini mushroom including free delivery for a bargain price of £14.95.
