Parmigiano Reggiano, often called Parmesan, is a hard, aged cheese originating from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Made from cow's milk, it undergoes a meticulous aging process of 12 to 36 months, which develops its complex, nutty flavor and granular texture. Rich in protein and calcium, Parmigiano is a nutrient-dense choice that supports bone health and muscle function. It also contains beneficial enzymes and is lower in lactose, making it easier to digest for those with sensitivities. However, its sodium content is relatively high, so portion control is important. Widely used in Italian cuisine, this versatile cheese is commonly grated over pasta, soups, or salads, or enjoyed on its own as a flavorful snack.
