About Queso parmesano

Queso Parmesano, commonly known as Parmesan cheese, is a hard, aged cheese originating from Italy, specifically the Parma region. Made from cow’s milk, this cheese undergoes a lengthy aging process, typically 12 months or more, which gives it a nutty, sharp flavor profile and a grainy texture. It is rich in protein and calcium, making it beneficial for bone health and muscle repair. However, Parmesan is high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key for those watching their heart health or sodium intake. It is a versatile ingredient in Italian cuisine, often grated over pasta, risotto, or salads, and used to enhance the flavors of various dishes. Due to its strong taste, a little goes a long way, making it a flavorful yet concentrated source of nutrients and calories.
