Bruna Alpina Cow
The perfect balance between technique, tradition and flavour.
A historic breed with a strong voice
The Bruna Italiana is one of the great dairy breeds linked to the world of Parmigiano Reggiano DOP. Present in Italy for over a century and descended from the original Bruna Alpina, it has remained a reference thanks to its adaptability and, above all, the quality of its milk. It is not the most productive breed, but it is one of the most valued when the goal is not to produce more, but to produce better.
Its strength lies in composition. Milk from Bruna cows contains a high level of casein, a key protein in cheesemaking. This allows for more efficient coagulation, better retention of fat and protein, and ultimately a superior cheese yield. In simple terms: with this milk, Parmigiano starts from an exceptional foundation.
A finer, more stable and more elegant Parmigiano
Parmigiano Reggiano DOP made from Bruna milk has a distinct identity. It typically offers a well-balanced paste, a pleasant texture and a delicate flavour, with notes reminiscent of hay, butter and nuts. It does not aim to impress with intensity, but rather to stand out through harmony. It is one of those cheeses that convinces without exaggeration.
In addition, the natural richness of this milk in calcium, phosphorus and proteins contributes to a structured, complete and highly enjoyable product. It is a Parmigiano that combines technical precision with pure pleasure, ideal for those who appreciate nuance and seek a more refined experience.
Clear identity, guaranteed origin
