Vacche Rosse: A Story of Flavor, Tradition, and Sustainability

When it comes to Italian culinary excellence, Parmigiano Reggiano takes pride of place. But there's an even more special story behind this legendary cheese: the story of Vacche Rosse Parmigiano Reggiano , a unique product that combines tradition, biodiversity, and respect for nature.


The Origin of Parmigiano Reggiano

Did you know that Parmigiano Reggiano was born from a very particular breed of cow? We're talking about the Reggiana breed , also known as Vacche Rosse (Red Cows). This breed is considered the mother of Parmigiano, as it was the most widely used in its original production, back in 1200.


An 800-Year Legacy

Vacche Rosse cheese has deep roots. Its origins date back to the abbeys of the Benedictine monks, who not only had enough milk to create such large wheels, but also the knowledge necessary to develop a revolutionary technique for their time: long-aging cheese.


Save a Race, Preserve a Treasure

During the 1980s, the Vacche Rosse was on the brink of extinction. Of more than 150,000 individuals, only 600 remained. Thanks to initiatives dedicated to protecting this breed, they have now returned to more than 3,000 animals. Supporting the Vacche Rosse also means supporting biodiversity .


Sustainability at Every Stage

  • 🌱 Natural food: Based on local forage, without pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
  • 💧 Water savings: Growing forage requires little water, which is ideal in times of water crisis.
  • 🌾 GMO-Free: All cow feed is certified non-genetically modified.
  • 🌿 Mandatory green grass: Cows eat fresh grass, giving the cheese a unique aroma and flavor.

A Natural Virtuous Circle

The magic of Vacche Rosse lies in transforming simple foods—like hay and grass—into a cheese with high biological value. It's a circular economy model that respects natural cycles.


Health and Wellness in Every Serving
