Parmigiano Reggiano, known as the "King of Cheeses," is a hard, aged cheese originating from Italy, specifically the Emilia-Romagna region. Made from cow's milk, it includes only three ingredients: milk, salt, and rennet. This artisanal cheese is aged for a minimum of 12 months, developing a rich, nutty, and slightly crystalline texture. Parmigiano Reggiano is highly nutritious, offering an excellent source of protein, calcium, and essential minerals like phosphorus, which support bone health. It’s naturally lactose-free due to the aging process, making it suitable for those with lactose intolerance. Despite its health benefits, it is high in sodium and fat, so moderate consumption is recommended. Frequently featured in Italian cuisine, it enhances dishes such as pasta, risotto, and salads with its umami-packed flavor. Its authenticity is protected by strict regulations, ensuring only cheese produced in specific Italian provinces can bear the name.
