About the Consorzio del Formaggio Parmigiano Reggiano
Together with the producers, the dairies and the farmers, the Consorzio del Parmigiano Reggiano preserves the 900-year-old tradition of Parmigiano Reggiano production – along with valuable jobs in the Parma, Reggio-Emilia, Bologna and Mantua region.
Until a few years ago, the non-profit organisation was solely responsible for the cheese production process, but now it also looks after the quality of the milk and the welfare of the animals on the farms that deliver it to the dairies, as well as the preservation of old breeds and biodiversity. Currently, the Consorzio is working on a guideline that states that only animals raised in the region may be used for breeding.
