CASEIFICIO CARINI

For forty years, Caseificio Carini has been producing Parmigiano Reggiano DOP in Noceto, in the province of Parma, transforming milk from local farms. The dairy stands along the Via Francigena, a route that has connected people and markets for centuries, and its location along this thoroughfare ties into its dedication to direct sales. The wheels rest for at least twelve months before revealing their distinctive structure: a fine, crumbly texture, the result of a raw paste worked by hand with long processes and no shortcuts. Shipping across the national territory brings this cheese far from Emilia, but it's on-site that its full essence is truly appreciated. The shop is open every day, including Sunday mornings: it's worth stopping in Noceto to choose a wheel directly from the counter, speak with the producers, and taste the different ages before deciding which one to take home.
