What it is
Parmesan cheese is a hard, granular cheese that originated in Italy. It is traditionally made from cow's milk, rennet, and salt, and then aged for at least 12 months. This aging process gives it a distinctive nutty, salty, and umami flavor.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add Parmesan cheese to foods primarily for its rich flavor and texture. It is commonly used in a wide range of dishes, including pasta, pizza, salads, soups, and baked goods like garlic bread.
Health notes
Parmesan cheese is a common food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe when consumed as part of a balanced diet. As a dairy product, it contains protein, fat, and sodium. The FDA does not regulate whole foods like cheese as food additives, so it does not have an 'approved' or GRAS status in that context. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives, not whole food ingredients like Parmesan cheese.
Allergen info
Parmesan cheese is made from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
