What it is

Organic Parmesan cheese is a hard, dry cheese made from cow's milk. It is produced using traditional methods, with organic milk from cows that are not treated with antibiotics or hormones and are fed organic feed. The cheese is aged for at least 12 months, developing a sharp, nutty flavor and crumbly texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add organic Parmesan cheese for its savory, umami flavor and to provide a salty, nutty taste. It is commonly used as a topping for pasta dishes, pizzas, and salads, and as an ingredient in sauces, soups, and baked goods.

Health notes

Organic Parmesan cheese 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. JECFA has evaluated cheese and its components, and EFSA has also assessed various dairy products. Like all dairy products, it contains lactose and saturated fat, and intake should be considered within the context of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Organic Parmesan cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
