What it is
Organic Parmesan is a hard, dry cheese made from cow's milk. It is produced using traditional cheesemaking methods, involving aging for at least 12 months. The 'organic' designation means the milk comes from cows raised according to organic farming standards.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic Parmesan as a flavoring ingredient, adding a rich, nutty, and salty taste to foods. It is often grated and sprinkled on pasta dishes, soups, salads, and used in salad dressings and dips. Its firm texture also makes it suitable for use in baked goods and as a topping.
Health notes
Organic Parmesan is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for consumption. As a dairy product, it is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cheese and dairy products. Typical consumption levels are not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns from moderate intake.
Allergen info
Organic Parmesan is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
