Biodiversity - what are the cows fed on ?
The farm who supplies the Parmigiano Reggiano DOP for 4Cose is called Antica Fattoria Caseficcio Scalabrini - this is what they say -
Our permanent meadows represent a plant biodiversity unique in the world.
Thanks to the absence of invasive mechanical processing and the exclusion of pesticides or fungicides, several animal species remain preserved: insects, microinvertebrates and birds such as swallows, larks, green woodpeckers and lesser kestrels.
They also boast ancient origins on the lands bordering the Enza River and undoubtedly represent the link between the production of Parmigiano Reggiano and our territory.
With 63 plant species per square meter , the permanent meadows determine, depending on the season, significant variations in the diet of our dairy cows, particularly influencing the fat content of the cheese, which is reflected in the aroma and flavor of Parmigiano Reggiano .
