Description

Gran Maddalena Riserva 24 Months is a triumph of patient cheesemaking, a masterpiece shaped by time. After more than two years of aging on wooden boards, the cheese undergoes an alchemical transformation: the moisture evaporates, the aromas concentrate intensely, and the proteins break down into precious tyrosine crystals, which give it its unmistakable, crunchy texture when bitten into. The sweetness of fresh milk gives way to a sharp and profound aroma of melted butter, meat broth, and roasted nuts. It is the pinnacle of the cheesemaker's art for the most discerning palate, a cheese for savoring and contemplation, an undisputed symbol of Italian haute cuisine.
MaWa tip: A cheese to be enjoyed generously. It finds its perfect pairing with the Salame Riserva 180 Days Co.Ci.No. Enhance its deep umami flavor with a glass of the legendary Solaria Jonica 1959 or enjoy it in an exciting contrast with the Grappa Tràdĕre Cantina Ròs.

Origin of raw material: Mazzano (Lombardy, Italy). Selection of high-quality cheeses for long aging.
Characteristics of the milk: Raw milk from cows, partially skimmed through natural cream separation.
Processing and coagulation: Traditionally in copper vats with whey starter, coagulation, cutting into "rice grain" shapes, and slow, controlled cooking.
Salting and seasoning: After salting, the cheeses selected by master cheesemakers for the Riserva are aged for a further 24 months. During this phase, the cheese acquires its characteristic crumbly texture and its complex, umami-rich flavor.
Flavor profile: Savory, intense, lingering, distinctly umami, and never sharp.

Tasting notes: The paste has a deep, golden-yellow color. The texture is distinctly granular and crumbly, enriched by the visible and tactile tyrosine crystals (the classic "white dots"). On the nose, a complex and multi-layered bouquet unfolds: melted butter, warm hay, beef broth, nutmeg, and toasted almonds. On the palate, it is an explosion of full-bodied, deep, and lingering flavors that indulge the senses without being overpowering.
Pairings: The absolute star of fine dining. It is best enjoyed in flakes (split with the special almond-shaped knife) accompanied by aged traditional balsamic vinegar, chestnut honey, or dark jams.
Serving temperature: 18–20 °C. The cheese must be left out of the refrigerator and unpacked at least one hour before consumption so that the aromas can develop and the cheese can "breathe."
