Another thing to know is that many different evolutions of the same wonderful cheese exist. Each aging gives a distinctive trait to each shape, colours and unique aromas. Between 12 and 18 months , Parmesan Cheese has a harmonious ad delicate flavour , with milk, yogurts and fresh fruit hints and it pairs perfectly with the bubbles of a sparkling white or rosé wine . Until 24 months , it becomes crumblier and grainier and it creates a sweet balance between fresh and dry fruit, to be paired with medium body wines and tastier dishes. The flavour is more intense between 30 and 36 months of aging, with spices hints and aromas of dry fruit ; it becomes a cheese capable of being the protagonist of the entire meal: from the starter, to first courses of fresh or filled pasta, up to the pre-dessert in pairing with fruit and honey. The versatility of this typology of Parmesan Cheese is recognized also by the big possibility of pairing with wines, mainly local, as Monte delle Vigne wines. The highest explosion of aromas is in the Parmesan Cheese that ages more than 40 months : the expectation is rewarded and it goes beyond the test of time, by giving a bouquet of feelings and unique hints.
