Shaved Parmesan cheese is a delicate and flavorful garnish made from aged cow’s milk cheese, traditionally originating from Italy. Known for its nutty, salty, and umami-forward taste, Parmesan complements dishes like salads, pastas, soups, and risottos. Rich in protein and calcium, Parmesan promotes bone health and helps maintain muscle function. As a hard cheese, it has lower lactose content, making it suitable for individuals with mild lactose sensitivities. However, Parmesan is also high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key for heart health. Its concentrated flavor means that a small amount goes a long way in enhancing meals, making it a preferred choice for culinary balance. Whether sprinkled over a dish or enjoyed on its own, shaved Parmesan adds both texture and nutritional value to your plate.
