Tablespoon Parmigiano cheese, derived from Italian cuisine, is a concentrated source of flavor typically used for sprinkling over dishes like pasta, risotto, or salads. With origins in the Parmigiano Reggiano region of Italy, this aged cheese is made from cow’s milk and boasts a nutty, savory taste. A tablespoon serving contains around 22 calories, 1.4 grams of protein, and negligible carbs, along with about 1.5 grams of fat, primarily saturated. It provides notable amounts of calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for bone health. However, its sodium content (around 76 mg per tablespoon) warrants mindful use for those monitoring salt intake. While it enhances dishes with rich umami, moderation is key due to its calorie density and fat content. Parmigiano is a flavorful addition that fits well into balanced diets when consumed sparingly.
