Organic Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese

Organic Parmigiano Reggiano is a hard, granular cheese traditionally made in the Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, and Bologna provinces of Italy. It is produced from raw cow's milk, salt, and calf rennet, aged for a minimum of 12 months, and often much longer. The aging process develops its characteristic sharp, nutty, and fruity flavor.

Manufacturers use Organic Parmigiano Reggiano primarily for its rich, savory flavor and granular texture. It is often grated over pasta dishes, soups, and salads, or used as a key ingredient in sauces and baked goods like pizza. Its intense taste can enhance the overall flavor profile of a dish.

Organic Parmigiano Reggiano 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. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products. While generally considered healthy as part of a balanced diet, like all foods, its consumption should be moderated due to its sodium and fat content.
