About Parmisan
Parmesan, also known as Parmigiano-Reggiano, is a hard, aged cheese originating from the Parma and Reggio Emilia regions of Italy. Made from cow's milk, it follows a rigorous production process, aging for 12 to 36 months to develop its distinctive nutty and salty flavor. Parmesan is rich in protein and calcium, making it beneficial for bone health, and provides essential vitamins such as B12 and A. However, it is high in sodium and saturated fats, so moderation is key for those monitoring heart health or blood pressure. This versatile cheese is commonly grated over pasta, soups, and salads, enhancing dishes with its robust taste. Its low lactose content makes it easier to digest for individuals with lactose sensitivities. Known as the “King of Cheeses,” Parmesan is both a culinary staple and a nutritious addition when enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
