About Parm cheese
Parmesan cheese, or Parmigiano-Reggiano, is a hard, aged cheese originating from Italy, specifically the Emilia-Romagna region. Made from cow's milk, it undergoes a meticulous aging process, typically ranging from 12 to 36 months, which contributes to its distinct nutty and savory flavor. Parmesan is rich in protein and calcium, supporting bone health, and contains beneficial nutrients like phosphorus and vitamins A and B12. However, it is also high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key. Its granular texture and strong taste make it a versatile ingredient in Italian cuisine, often grated over pasta, salads, and soups or used as a flavor enhancer in various recipes. Recognized for its complex flavor profile and nutrient density, Parmesan can be a flavorful addition to a balanced diet when consumed wisely.
