Grate the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese finely and set it aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy cream and grated cheese. Stir continuously with a whisk to melt the cheese into the cream, being careful not to let the mixture boil.
Peel and mince the garlic clove finely. Add it to the mixture in the saucepan and stir well.
Once the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth, remove the saucepan from heat.
Stir in the olive oil, white wine vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
Pour the mixture into a serving bowl and let it cool slightly to thicken, about 3β5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve warm with crusty bread, raw vegetables, or crackers for dipping.
