What it is
Parmesan and Romano cheese base is a blend of hard, aged Italian-style cheeses, typically including both Parmesan and Romano. These cheeses are made from cow's milk, with Romano traditionally also including sheep's milk. The base is created by grating or processing these cheeses into a form suitable for incorporation into other food products.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use Parmesan and Romano cheese base to impart a savory, salty, and nutty flavor profile to foods. It functions as a primary flavor component, adding richness and depth. It is commonly found in pasta dishes, sauces, baked goods, dips, and prepared meals.
Health notes
Parmesan and Romano cheese base is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a natural food product and does not have specific regulatory limits set by bodies like JECFA or EFSA for general consumption. As a dairy product, it is a source of calcium and protein. Concerns about sodium content are relevant, as aged cheeses can be high in salt.
Allergen info
Parmesan and Romano cheese base is derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
