Parmigiano Reggiano
since 1876
For over six generations, Cantarelli has been selecting and aging
the finest Parmigiano Reggiano and Grana Padano.
A Name in the History
of Parmigiano Reggiano since 1876
For six generations, our family has preserved and passed down the secrets of Emilian cheesemaking excellence.
We combine the patience of traditional aging with cutting-edge preservation methods to bring to your table not simply a cheese, but an authentic work of culinary art.
Historic Brand since 1876
Cantarelli has reached its sixth generation of a family devoted to excellence. Over a century of absolute dedication, where time is the only master. The product is not simply a cheese, but an authentic fragment of Emilian gastronomic history.
Natural Aging
The aging process still takes place in the ancient stone cellars from the late nineteenth century. In a natural balance of temperature and humidity, this slow maturation imparts unique aromas to the Parmigiano, making them absolutely impossible to replicate elsewhere.
Selection Throughout the Supply Chain
Cantarelli rejects mass production logic to embrace the art of selection. The company chooses only the finest wheels from pristine areas and the noblest breeds, such as Red Cows and Brown Alpine, offering the pinnacle of cheesemaking tradition.
Tradition and Innovation
Thanks to an exclusive vacuum-sealed aluminum packaging system, the freshness of the cut is sealed. This ensures impeccable preservation over time, keeping aromas and texture intact: ideal for shipping and luxury gifting.
150 Years of Tradition
True Parmigiano Reggiano is not just a cheese,
it is a piece of our family's history.
For over 150 years, dedication and time have been our only masters.
A Family Business
for Over 150 Years
Among the first exporting dairies, as early as the late nineteenth century, wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano traveled from Val d'Enza to North and South America, offering
the opportunity to taste an excellent product in all its aspects, rich in ancient fragrances and aromas.
After nearly 150 years, Cantarelli is now listed in the register of historic brands of national interest.
Today's success is rooted in the experience of the past.
Premium Packaging
To maintain and guarantee the product's aroma and typical characteristics, our cheeses are packaged in bags with a triple layer of aluminum. This prevents contact with light sources and consequently the problem of oxidation, while ensuring a vacuum seal, avoiding exposing the product to thermal shock. The smooth mechanical cutting of the wheels improves the bag's adherence to the product, preventing the formation of air pockets.
Time,
Up Close
There are places where time seems to have stood still, leaving room only for nature and artisanal care.
Let yourself be visually transported to the heart of our work, discovering the faces, spaces, and authenticity of the Cantarelli world.
Excellence and Tradition
for Over Six Generations
Behind every wheel and every vacuum-sealed package, there is us: six generations of absolute dedication. Our spirit has remained that of the past, where human relationships and one's word have inestimable value. Whatever your needs may be, we are here to listen and advise you, with the same passion we have put into our Parmigiano Reggiano since 1876.
