Country: Italy
Type: Raw Cow
Today, the king of cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano. The only cheese that I know has an entire series of television commercials and a show tune. Salty, slightly sweet, hints of grass and small crystals... delightful. Most people would use it as a garnish, or to boost a dishes profile. I just ate it in big happy bites. Right now there is a shortage of Parmigiano due to an earthquake in Italy, so production has slumped and price has gone up. This particular piece was quite a bit moister than I'm used to from Parm, not quite sure if it was a younger age or something else.
There along side it is a duck and hazelnut terrine, some olivers, and cornichon.
