Tigros Parmigiano Reggiano DOP Grattugiato

This product is Parmigiano Reggiano DOP (Protected Designation of Origin), a world-renowned hard cheese exclusively produced in specific regions of Italy (Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, and parts of Mantua and Bologna). To carry the DOP label, it must be produced and processed according to strict traditional methods within these geographic areas.

The specific brand visible on this packaging is Tigros, which is a private label belonging to the Italian supermarket chain Tigros S.p.A. Founded in 1979 by Luigi Orrigoni, Tigros is a prominent regional retailer based in the Lombardy region. While Tigros owns the brand and manages the distribution, the cheese itself is sourced from certified Italian dairies that comply with the Consorzio del Formaggio Parmigiano Reggiano standards.
