About Parmasan cheese
Parmesan cheese, also known as Parmigiano-Reggiano, is a hard, aged cheese originating from northern Italy. Made from cow’s milk, it undergoes a maturation process of at least 12 months, resulting in its signature nutty, bold flavor and crumbly texture. Parmesan is rich in protein and essential nutrients like calcium and phosphorus, which support bone health. It is also lower in lactose compared to many other dairy products, making it easier to digest for those with lactose sensitivity. However, Parmesan is high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key for maintaining heart health. A versatile ingredient, it enhances pastas, soups, and salads, and serves as a popular topping or flavor booster in Italian cuisine. When purchasing Parmesan, look for authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano for optimal quality and taste, often identified by its stamped rind.
