About Parmesano

Parmesano is a hard, aged cheese originating from Italy, prized for its rich, savory flavor and granular texture. Made primarily from cow's milk, it undergoes a meticulous aging process that can last 12 months or longer, enhancing its distinctive taste. Commonly used in Italian cuisine, it adds depth to pasta dishes, risottos, and salads, while also serving as a versatile topping or snack. Nutritionally, Parmesano is a good source of protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle function. It is relatively low in lactose, making it easier to digest for those with lactose sensitivity. However, it's also high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is recommended for heart health and weight management. With its bold flavor, Parmesano provides a nutrient-dense way to enhance dishes without overindulging.
