Low-Fat Parmesan Cheese

Low-Fat Parmesan Cheese

Everyday

Low-fat Parmesan cheese is a reduced-fat variant of traditional Parmigiano-Reggiano, typically made by using skim milk or removing fat during processing. While retaining the umami-rich, savory flavor of aged Parmesan, it contains 30-50% less fat and fewer calories than the original, while still providing a concentrated source of protein and calcium. The texture tends to be slightly grainier and less melt-friendly, making it best suited for grating over dishes rather than cooking applications. Many commercial versions add stabilizers to mimic the mouthfeel of full-fat cheese.
