Parmesan, commonly known as Parm, is a hard, aged cheese originally from Italy, specifically the Parma region. Made primarily from cow's milk, Parm undergoes a meticulous aging process that can last 12 months or more, giving it its distinct, nutty flavor and crumbly texture. A staple in Italian cuisine, it's often grated over pasta, risotto, or salads, adding depth and savory richness to dishes. Parm is naturally high in calcium and protein, supporting bone health and muscle repair. However, it's also relatively high in sodium and saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Low in lactose due to its aging process, it's suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance. Opting for smaller portions and pairing it with nutrient-dense foods can make Parm a flavorful but mindful addition to your meals.
