PARMESAN

Pine Tree

MAINE-STYLE WHOLE MILK PARMESAN CHEESE
(RICH & SAVORY)

Size

We make our parmesan with whole milk, rather than skim. This makes it slightly softer and more flavorful than a traditional parmesan — and just as perfect for slicing, shaving, grating, or crumbling.

“Pairs perfectly with Italian dishes like spaghetti or lasagna.”
“Perfectly compliments the tang of fresh tomatoes.”

No. Traditional parmesans are all made with skim milk. We use whole milk because that’s the way we like to work with our cow’s milk; plus, it adds a texture we love. It’s aged 9-12 months, creating the flavors you’d expect for a parmesan. But the whole milk means there’s more structure than a traditional parmesan. You can slice it, and it won’t crumble.

Yes, we do! Our farm is completely off-the-grid: We use 60 solar panels to generate the bulk of our electricity, which is stored in a battery bank. Our diesel generator is tied into our solar, kicking on if battery levels drop too low, and during milking when a lot of equipment is running all at once.

We milk once per day in the morning. The cows walk up to the barn from the pastures. We have a tie-stall barn that has been converted into the milking parlor, where we can milk up to 12 cows at a time. The girls all have their favorite spot to stand. We have a pipeline system: a series of stainless steel pipes under vacuum provides pressure that mimics hand milking.
