Parmesan Cheese, Grated

Everyday

Grated Parmesan cheese is a hard, aged Italian dairy product traditionally made from cow's milk and aged for 12-36 months to develop its crystalline texture and concentrated umami flavor. This cheese is notably rich in protein and calcium, with a low moisture content that makes the grated form shelf-stable and ideal for sprinkling over pasta, soups, and salads. Authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano (protected designation of origin) contains no additives, while many commercial grated versions include anti-caking agents.
