Reggiano, also known as Parmigiano Reggiano or Parmesan, is a hard, aged cheese originating from Italy, specifically the Emilia-Romagna region. Made from part-skim cow's milk, it undergoes a lengthy aging process, often 12 to 36 months, which contributes to its distinct nutty, savory flavor and granular texture. Reggiano is rich in protein and calcium, making it beneficial for bone health and muscle repair. It's also a good source of phosphorus and vitamins like B12. However, it is high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key for those monitoring heart health or blood pressure. Often used as a topping for pasta, soups, and salads, or eaten in small chunks, Reggiano is a staple in Italian cuisine and prized globally for its complex taste and versatile culinary applications.
