Parmesan Reggiano, often called the "King of Cheeses," is a hard, aged cheese originating from Northern Italy, specifically the regions of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, and parts of Bologna and Mantua. Made from cow's milk, this esteemed cheese undergoes a rigorous production process and is aged for at least 12 months, resulting in its distinctive nutty flavor and granular texture. Parmesan is rich in protein, calcium, and phosphorus, making it a valuable addition to a balanced diet, particularly for bone health. It is naturally lactose-free due to its aging process, making it suitable for those with lactose intolerance. However, its high sodium content requires mindful consumption. Widely used in Italian cuisine, Parmesan adds depth to pastas, risottos, and salads. When purchasing, look for the authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano label to ensure quality and origin.
