Parmigiano-Reggiano with Fresh Fennel

This elegant vegetarian appetiser celebrates the timeless Italian pairing of aged Parmigiano-Reggiano and crisp, fresh fennel. By prying the cheese into rustic shards rather than slicing it, you preserve its unique granular texture and allow the bold, nutty flavours to shine. The cool, aniseed crunch of the fennel provides a refreshing contrast to the salty richness of the cheese, making it a sophisticated addition to any sharing platter or seasonal spread.

Perfect for effortless entertaining, this simple dish requires minimal preparation and relies entirely on the quality of its components. It serves as a light, palate-cleansing starter or a refined alternative to a traditional cheese board. For the best results, assemble the dish just before your guests arrive to ensure the fennel remains perfectly bright and crunchy against the savoury cheese.

How to make Parmigiano-Reggiano with Fresh Fennel

Pry off bite-size chunks of cheese with a Parmigiano-Reggiano knife or the point of a small sharp stiff knife and put on a platter.

Trim fennel, discarding stalks and outer layer if bruised. Halve bulbs lengthwise and core, then cut into 1/4-inch-wide slivers.

Just before serving, tuck clusters of fennel among cheese chunks.
