About Parmesan cheese grated
Parmesan cheese, a staple of Italian cuisine, is a hard, aged cheese known for its rich, nutty, and savory flavor. When grated, it becomes a convenient topping for dishes like pasta, salads, soups, and roasted vegetables, adding depth and umami. Made primarily from cow's milk, it is aged for at least 12 months, ensuring its distinctive taste and crumbly texture. Parmesan is naturally high in protein and calcium, supporting bone and muscle health, while also offering essential vitamins like vitamin A and B12. However, it is relatively high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key for those managing cardiovascular health or sodium intake. Its robust flavor means a little goes a long way, and its versatility in cooking makes it a favorite ingredient worldwide. This admired cheese is also lactose-free, making it accessible for those with lactose intolerance.
