It tastes ...sort of Italian
Parrano Originale is a unique cheese - passionate, temperamental. But it's more than that. We say it's …sort of Italian - strong and straightforward, but not pungent or sharp. It is a universal taste for which you don't have to be Italian.

It looks ...sort of Dutch
Although it is true that Parrano tastes ...sort of Italian, its structure is very similar to Dutch Gouda - not too hard and not too soft. Slicing is ...sort of easy.

The secret revealed
Since you would never be able to imitate it, we can tell you that Parrano is a deanery cheese. This is a type of cheese that uses a special coagulant to give it a slightly sweet, nut-flavored taste. To reach its full flavor, we allow Parrano to mature for 20 weeks. The strong taste therefore does not come from the salt content.

When and how
When does this culinary delight come into its own? Virtually anytime. Normal rules do not apply to such a passionate cheese. And you won't want to treat it sparingly. Once you try it, you will find it difficult to stop. On bread, with drinks or as part of various dishes. No problem. Parrano retains its unique taste in hot dishes. It melts well and is not stringy.
