About Parmigiano reggiano

Parmigiano Reggiano, often called the "King of Cheeses," is a hard, aged cheese originating from Italy's Emilia-Romagna region. Made from unpasteurized cow's milk and aged for a minimum of 12 months, it boasts a nutty, complex flavor with a granular texture. This cheese is rich in protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like B12, making it a great addition for bone health and muscle repair. Parmigiano Reggiano is naturally lactose-free due to its aging process, making it suitable for lactose-intolerant individuals. However, it is relatively high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key for those monitoring heart health or blood pressure. Widely used in Italian cuisine, it enhances dishes like pasta, risotto, and salads. Its impeccable quality is safeguarded by strict production regulations, ensuring both authenticity and nutritional integrity.
