pronounced "sar-VEK-io"
| SarVecchio Parmesan, produced by Sartori in Wisconsin, is a U.S. grana-style hard cheese aged at least 20 months, notable for its savory, caramel-sweet flavor and crumbly, crystalline texture. Unlike Italian Parmigiano Reggiano, it uses pasteurized cow’s milk and microbial rennet, making it vegetarian-friendly. SarVecchio exceeds U.S. Parmesan standards with lower moisture and extended aging, earning multiple awards including Super Gold at the World Cheese Awards. Its natural edible rind, complex flavor profile, and pairing versatility with wines and beers make it a distinguished American artisan cheese with roots in Wisconsin’s dairy heritage. | |
