About Queijo parmesao

Queijo Parmesão, commonly known as Parmesan cheese, originates from Italy and is a staple in Italian cuisine. Made from cow’s milk, it is a hard, aged cheese with a complex, nutty flavor and granular texture. Rich in protein and calcium, Parmesan supports bone health and muscle maintenance, making it a nutritious addition to many diets. It also contains Vitamins A and B12, which contribute to eye health and nervous system function. However, its high sodium content and moderate-to-high fat levels mean portion control is essential, particularly for those monitoring heart health or blood pressure. Typically used as a garnish, grated over pasta, salads, or soups, or enjoyed in chunks, its intense flavor allows for small quantities to enhance dishes, making it accessible to many different meal styles while still offering its nutritional benefits.
