About Parmesan
Parmesan, also known as Parmigiano-Reggiano, is a hard, aged cheese originating from Italy, specifically the Emilia-Romagna region. Made from cow's milk, it is renowned for its rich, nutty flavor and granular texture. Parmesan is typically aged for 12 to 36 months, enhancing both its taste and nutritional profile. It is high in protein and calcium, supporting bone health, and contains beneficial probiotics that aid digestion due to its fermentation process. Additionally, Parmesan is relatively low in lactose, making it suitable for many lactose-sensitive individuals. However, it is also high in sodium and saturated fats, which should be consumed in moderation, particularly for those monitoring heart health or managing blood pressure. Commonly used in Italian cuisine, it complements pasta dishes, salads, and soups, serving as both a garnish and a key ingredient. Its intense flavor allows smaller portions to provide big taste, which can aid in mindful eating.
