What it is

Parmesan cheese is a hard, granular cheese traditionally made from cow's milk. It is produced in the Emilia-Romagna and Lombardy regions of Italy and aged for at least 12 months, often longer. The cheese is made by heating milk, adding rennet to coagulate it, then cutting and cooking the curd before pressing and aging.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use shaved Parmesan cheese as a flavorful ingredient and topping. Its salty, nutty taste enhances a variety of dishes. It is commonly found in pasta dishes, salads, soups, and as a topping for bread and vegetables.

Health notes

Parmesan cheese 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. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated cheese and related products. Typical consumption of cheese as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Parmesan cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
