Reggianito cheese is a popular Argentinean Grana-type cheese made exclusively from cow?s milk. The cheese-making technology is an adaptation from that used for Italian hard cheeses as Grana Padano and Parmiggiano-Regiano which was introduced to Argentina in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by Italian immigrants. Unlike Italian Grana-type cheeses, Reggianito cheese has higher moisture and fat content, the ripening time is shorter and the size is much smaller
