Dehydrated Blend Of Parmesan Cheese

This ingredient is made from Parmesan cheese that has had most of its water removed through a drying process. The dehydration concentrates the cheese's flavor and extends its shelf life. It is a powdered or granular form of Parmesan.

Manufacturers use dehydrated Parmesan cheese primarily to add a savory, salty, and nutty flavor to foods. It is often found in dry mixes, seasonings, and coatings for snacks, frozen meals, pasta dishes, and baked goods. Its powdered form makes it easy to incorporate and distribute evenly.

Dehydrated Parmesan cheese is a dairy product and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients found in cheese. No specific regulatory limits are set for its use as a flavor enhancer. As with any food, excessive consumption could contribute to high sodium intake.
