What it is

Parmesan cheese is a hard, granular cheese that originated in Italy. It is made from pasteurized part-skim cow's milk, rennet, and salt, and then aged for a significant period to develop its distinct flavor and texture. The pasteurization process heats the milk to kill harmful bacteria.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Parmesan cheese to add a savory, umami flavor to a wide range of foods. It is commonly found in dishes like pizza, pasta sauces, and frozen entrees, where it serves as a topping or an ingredient to enhance taste.

Health notes

Parmesan cheese, as a food ingredient, is generally recognized as safe for consumption. The FDA regulates dairy products for safety and quality. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives, not whole foods like cheese, and therefore have not set specific limits for Parmesan cheese.
