Mouthwatering steak recipe with Parmigiano Reggiano at Eataly

Disclosure: I was a guest at this event. All opinions are strictly my own.

 

I attended the “From Wedge to Rind” event at Eataly with the Consorzio. Along with cheese shop owners and cheese mongers we learned about the history of Parmigiano Reggiano as well as amazing recipes. I am a cheese lover and was in awe of how versatile cheese could be in recipes. Two of my favorites were the Olive Oil Cake with Parmigiano Gelato….that’s right! Ice Cream!

My other favorite was this mouth-watering sliced steak with shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano! This will be a hit with the family or when you have friends over for dinner. A great wine to pair with this meal is CAPANNA, MOSCADELLO DI MONTALCINO, TOSCANA

All Parmesean cheeses come from Parma, Italy or at least they should in order to be called parmesean. Parmigiano means simply “of or from Parma” and, likewise, Reggiano means “of or from Reggio.”

Depending on where they lived, cheese makers in the area between Parma and Reggio called their cheese Parmigiano or Reggiano. Eventually, the two terms were combined to form the name familiar to us now: Parmigiano Reggiano® cheese.

Parmigiano Reggiano is made with partially skimmed raw milk from cows fed only on the local grasses and hay of the place of origin. The milk is gently heated and, following the addition of rennet, coagulates to form curds, which are molded into large wheels and brined.

Other hard grating cheeses contain additives or are pressed, but these characteristics do not apply to Parmigiano Reggiano. Because the quality of the milk is high, Parmigiano Reggiano is suitable for lengthy aging, typically 18 to 36 months—longer than for most other types of hard grating cheese.
