When Paolo Gennari was asked to make a small wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano, he replied that according to regulations, wheels weighing less than 38 kg could not be made.
But they did not believe him; they told him he could not make it.
That day Oro Nero cheese was born.

Milk is used from their farm; it is left as whole milk thus rich and creamy. The wheels are 10-12 kg and are aged for 6-9 months. It has a sweet, soft flavour on the palate. The truffle shines through the rich creaminess of the cheese.
