Grated Aged & Parmesan Cheese

Parmesan cheese is a hard, dry cheese made from cow's milk. It is aged for at least 12 months, which develops its sharp, nutty flavor and crumbly texture. The cheese is often grated before being used in cooking.

Manufacturers use grated aged and Parmesan cheese to add a savory, umami flavor to foods. It is commonly found in pasta dishes, sauces, pizzas, and salad dressings. Its firm texture also makes it suitable for grating over finished dishes.

Parmesan cheese is a dairy product and a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for consumption. Like other aged cheeses, it is relatively low in lactose, which may make it suitable for some individuals with lactose intolerance. Excessive intake of cheese, due to its fat and sodium content, should be considered within the context of a balanced diet.
