Parmezanul s-ar putea scumpi după vara extremă din Italia. Canicula lovește în „regele brânzeturilor”

Italy's heatwaves are significantly impacting the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese industry, reducing milk production and increasing costs for farmers. Extreme temperatures lead to higher energy consumption and stress for dairy cows, resulting in a potential rise in cheese prices. The strict DOP regulations limit farmers' options for sourcing cheaper feed, complicating the situation further. As climate change intensifies, the economic stakes are high, with the sector valued at around 4.5 billion euros annually. Farmers are facing increasing investment needs to adapt to these extreme conditions.
