What it is

Parmesan and Asiago are hard, Italian-style cheeses made from cow's milk. They are produced using traditional cheesemaking methods, involving rennet and aging, which develops their characteristic sharp, nutty flavors and firm texture.

Why it's used

These cheeses are primarily used to add a savory, umami flavor to foods. They are often grated and sprinkled on pasta dishes, pizzas, salads, and frozen entrees, as well as incorporated into sauces and baked goods for enhanced taste.

Health notes

Parmesan and Asiago cheeses are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as food ingredients. They are a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. While generally considered safe, like all dairy products, they contain lactose and can be high in sodium and saturated fat, which may be a consideration for some individuals.

Allergen info

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