    Great Italian Aged Cheeses

    Masterpieces of Tradition

    Academia Barilla offers a selection of unique Italian cheeses, famous throughout the world for their unmistakable flavor and unmatchable quality.
    Salt, milk, rennet and time: these are the ingredients that give life to the best Italian cheeses. Cheese making is an ancient art that is being kept alive by artisanal cheese producers.
    The secrets of a great wheel of Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino are simple: milk from well-raised animals, knowledgeable cheese makers, and slow aging. Our cheeses are rich in flavor and unique in character. They are representative of the regions in which they were made and are inevitably an expression of a specific climate and environment.
    Un intense bouquet of aromas, flavors and tradition in every bite.
