PDO Organic Parmigiano Reggiano made only with milk from the Vacca Bianca Modenese (White Cow of Modena) - Slow Food Presidium

→ THE PRODUCT. ←

Organic milk from Modenese white cows is particularly suitable for processing into Parmesan cheese, due to the optimal ratio of fat to protein, and the high presence of a beta-casein KBB.

Their feed is NO GMO, NO silage, ONLY Organic fodder, Organic grains and Organic manure for the soil. For the care of our cows we privilege physiotherapeutic and homeopathic treatments, all of which results not only in a longer, happier and healthier life, but also in an excellent quality of organic milk and therefore of our ORGANIC PARMIGGIANO REGGIANO.

→ THE BREED - MODENESE WHITE CATTLE ←

The Modenese White Cow is a very ancient breed of cattle, indigenous to this area. Over time and due to the high demand for milk in the market, this cow, was slowly abandoned because of its low milk production, ONLY 9-12 liters/day! 🐄

This is why we would like to mention that it is a highly endangered breed, declared extinct by the FAO. In the 1950s there were about 250,000 specimens that gradually declined to about 200 animals in the 1990s.
