Whether you’re preparing for the FIFA World Cup™, pulling on the yellow jersey of the Tour de France, or tying up your trainers for a run after work, the right fuel is the only way to reach your fitness and sporting goals.

You can try out a range of supplements to power your progress and repair your body, but there is a more natural alternative - it’s called Parmigiano Reggiano. Otherwise known as ‘Parmesan’, this semi-fat cheese provides nutritional support with zero additives.

The ageing process of Parmigiano Reggiano releases high levels of free amino acids from the casein in milk, giving you the 33g of the protein (of which 7.7g are free amino acids) that your muscles need to grow and repair after exercise. In addition, just a handful (35g) provides 50% of your RDA of calcium – a fundamental mineral required for energy regulation and bone density.

Parmigiano Reggiano is a PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) product. This mark ensures that Parmigiano Reggiano cheese can only be produced in designated areas of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna to the west of the Reno River and Mantua to the east of the Po River. The areas, natural feed and high quality milk are what make the rich, delicious and uniquely nutritious cheese, still produced today as it was nine centuries ago.

The minimum maturation time for Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is 12 months, but only when it reaches approximately 24 months of age, is it at its best. This ageing process improves the nutritional values, taste of the cheese and digestibility - feeding your fitness and boosting your performance.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
