What it is

Granular and Parmesan cheeses are hard, dry, Italian-style cheeses made from cow's milk. They are aged for at least 10 months, developing a sharp, nutty flavor and a crumbly texture. The granular form is typically pre-grated for convenience.

Why it's used

These cheeses are added to foods for their savory, umami flavor and to enhance texture. They are commonly found in frozen dinners, pasta dishes, sauces, pizza, and as a topping for salads and soups.

Health notes

Granular and Parmesan cheeses are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food. They are a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products. No specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption.
