Halal Parmigiano Reggiano
What does Halal Parmigiano Reggiano mean?
Halal Parmigiano Reggiano is the version of the renowned PDO cheese that is compliant with Islamic dietary laws. The term halal, which in Arabic means “permissible“, refers to all products that comply with Sharia rules, both in terms of ingredients and production processes. For Halal Parmigiano Reggiano, this means that the entire supply chain – from milk selection to aging – is subject to specific controls that ensure the absence of prohibited substances, such as additives or processing aids of non-halal animal origin.
The result is a cheese that maintains the authentic characteristics of Parmigiano Reggiano, but with added value: the assurance of a controlled, safe product that meets both the highest standards required by PDO regulations and halal certification. This represents a guarantee of quality and transparency for all international markets, thus promoting exports to countries where halal food is a fundamental requirement.
Production and sale of
Halal Parmigiano Reggiano
Since 2016, we have been producing Halal Parmigiano Reggiano rigorously following both the Consortium’s regulations and the rules required by the certification. The supply chain begins with direct management of fodder and animal welfare, elements that ensure our high-quality milk production is free from prohibited contamination. Every production phase – from coagulation with halal-certified rennet to salting and aging – is monitored and controlled by specialized third-party organizations.
The halal production of Parmigiano Reggiano maintains the centuries-old tradition of PDO cheese while integrating additional traceability and verification procedures to ensure full compliance with requirements for Muslim consumers. The warehouse processing phases, for example, are carried out separately from traditional Parmigiano Reggiano wheels. Once ready, they are marked and certified to guarantee the authenticity of halal PDO Parmigiano Reggiano both in Italy and abroad (Halal Certification Italy n.889 from Halal International Authority).
Available aging periods
The halal Parmigiano Reggiano PDO produced by our dairy is available in different aging periods, designed to enhance the various flavor nuances of this unique cheese. Each period offers different aromas and textures, from the young and delicate to the more mature and intense.
