About Fresh parmesan
Fresh Parmesan, known as Parmigiano-Reggiano, is a hard, aged cheese originating from Italy. Made from cow’s milk, it is renowned for its rich, nutty flavor and granular texture. A staple in Italian cuisine, Parmesan is often grated over pasta, risottos, or salads, and enhances dishes with its savory depth. Nutrition-wise, it is a high-protein food that provides calcium, phosphorus, and essential vitamins like B12, supporting bone and overall health. Fresh Parmesan is relatively low in lactose due to its aging process, making it easier to digest for those sensitive to dairy. However, it is also high in sodium and saturated fat, so portion control is advised for those monitoring heart health or sodium intake. This versatile cheese adds flavor and nutritional benefits when consumed in moderation, earning its place as a beloved ingredient in kitchens worldwide.
