About Parmigiana cheese
Parmigiana cheese, also known as Parmesan, is a hard, granular cheese originating from Italy, specifically the Parma, Reggio Emilia, and Modena regions. Made from cow’s milk, it undergoes a lengthy aging process, typically for 12-36 months, which contributes to its rich, nutty flavor and crumbly texture. Parmesan is highly nutrient-dense, offering protein, calcium, and phosphorus, which are essential for bone health and muscle function. It’s naturally low in lactose, making it suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance. However, Parmesan is also high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is recommended, especially for those managing heart health or blood pressure. Its intense flavor means a small amount can go a long way, making it a versatile addition to pasta, salads, soups, and risottos in Italian cuisine. For best quality and authenticity, look for “Parmigiano-Reggiano” labeled versions.
