Whole cow milk is set with calf rennet at 36–40 °C, cut and gently cooked to 42 °C for the fresh cheese or 46 °C for the aged one. The curd is packed into perforated moulds, kept warm for 1–3 hours, salted and ripened, either briefly as a soft fresh caciotta or for three months to a year. Made in 8 steps over 3.1 days – 12 months. The longest step, ripen, takes 3 days – 12 months (ONAF) and runs at up to 16 °C (Provincia di Reggio Emilia 2015). Lactic cultures selected within the production area and The raw milk's own lactic acid bacteria, in the aged cheese made from raw milk do most of the fermenting.

Lactic acid bacteria
Whole milk from one or more milkings. For Furmaìn fresco it is pasteurised first; for Furmaìn stagionato it is used raw or thermised. Output: whole cow milk.

What makes this one different
It is the small "house cheese" of the Parmigiano Reggiano country, made a few kilos at a time beside wheels of grana that age a year or more. Its fresh form uses pasteurised milk and is eaten within weeks; its aged form uses raw or thermised milk and keeps up to a year.
Milk
Whole cow milk; pasteurised (fresh) or raw or thermised (aged)
Cooking
At most 42 °C (fresh) or 46 °C (aged)
Ripening
Fresh up to 90 days; aged 90 days to a year
Size
0.5–6 kg; cylinder 10–25 cm across, up to 18 cm high
Furmaìn frescoPasteurised milk, hazelnut-size curd, cooked to at most 42 °C, ripened up to 90 days at 10 °C or less; no rind. Labelled in burgundy.
Furmaìn stagionatoRaw or thermised milk, corn-size curd, cooked to 46 °C, ripened 90 days to a year at 16 °C or less. Labelled in orange-gold.
Safety
The fresh cheese is made from pasteurised milk. The aged cheese may be raw milk, and ANSES advises pregnant women, people over 65, people with weak immunity and young children to avoid raw-milk cheeses.
Hazards the sources name: Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella and enterohaemorrhagic E. coli, the main hazards ANSES names for raw-milk cheeses (aged Furmaìn may be raw milk).
Documents of the 16th and 17th centuries call the small farm cheeses "formelle" or "formaggette", Italian forms of the dialect furmaìn, named in contrast to the large grana. Women made them in farm kitchens from milk left after the calves and the household, often in winter. In the Second World War, families kept back milk from the cooperative dairy to make it in secret. The province of Reggio Emilia listed it as a traditional product, and a local consortium (CON.V.A.) registered a logo and rules to revive it.
