What it is

Grated Parmesan and Romano cheeses are hard, aged cheeses made from cow's milk (Parmesan) and a mix of cow's and sheep's milk (Romano). The milk is curdled, then the curds are heated, pressed into molds, and aged for several months to over a year. The aging process develops their sharp, salty flavor and granular texture.

Why it's used

These cheeses are added to foods for their savory, salty flavor and to contribute a cheesy taste. They are often used as a topping or ingredient in pasta dishes, pizzas, soups, salads, and baked goods. Their grated form makes them easy to sprinkle and incorporate into various recipes.

Health notes

Parmesan and Romano cheeses are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. They are a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Excessive intake of sodium from cheese could be a concern for individuals monitoring their salt intake. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products, but specific evaluations for these grated cheese blends are not typically highlighted.

Allergen info

Parmesan and Romano cheeses are derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
