Vegetarian Hard
A flavourful, firm cheese, perfect for every plate!
For a superb vegetarian alternative to traditional Italian hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano and Grana Padano, look no further than our Italian Vegetarian Hard Cheese. This delightful cheese is crafted without animal-derived rennet, instead using microbial rennet to ensure it’s suitable for vegetarians.
It boasts a firm texture, a golden rind, and a beautifully granular interior. Aged typically between 14 to 18 months, it develops a wonderfully complex taste. We offer options made with both pasteurised and unpasteurised cow’s milk, providing flexibility for your needs.
