List of products by brand Consorzio Vacche Rosse
Parmigiano Reggiano made only with milk from Reggiana cows, the «red cows». A consortium of Reggio Emilia farmers keeping this ancient breed alive since 1991.
MoreIn 1991 a group of farmers in Reggio Emilia decided to go back to making Parmigiano Reggiano only with milk from the ancient Reggiana breed, the «red cows». That is how Consorzio Vacche Rosse was born.
For years, the few farms and animals left made it impossible to process this milk on its own. The answer was to bring the milk of several farmers together in a single dairy and work it separately from the milk of other breeds.
Today 29 farms deliver their milk every day, there are around 3,000 red cows in the production area and some 15,000 wheels are made each year. Every wheel is branded on both faces with the mark of the Reggiana breeders' association.
At Nonnamarket you will find their 24-month Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Rosse, in pieces cut by hand from the wheel.
