About Parma cheese
Parma cheese, commonly known as Parmigiano-Reggiano, is a world-renowned Italian cheese originating from the Parma region. Made from unpasteurized cow's milk, it features a granular texture and deep, nutty flavor, achieved through traditional methods and aging periods spanning 12 to 36 months. Rich in protein, calcium, and phosphorus, Parmigiano-Reggiano supports bone health and muscle function while being naturally lactose-free, making it suitable for those with lactose intolerance. Its high levels of umami flavor enhance Mediterranean dishes, soups, salads, and pasta. The cheese is relatively low in fat compared to softer varieties but is calorie-dense, necessitating moderation for weight-conscious diets. Its sodium content, due to preservation, also warrants mindful consumption for individuals monitoring their salt intake. Known as “The King of Cheeses,” Parmigiano-Reggiano offers a versatile and nutrient-packed option to elevate any dish while supporting a balanced diet with proper portion control.
