Parmesan Cheese, Shredded

Parmesan Cheese, Shredded

Everyday

Shredded 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. The granular shreds deliver a salty, nutty punch to pasta, soups, and salads while providing exceptional protein density (10g per ounce) and calcium content. Though naturally lower in lactose than fresh cheeses due to extended aging, its sodium content requires moderation for sodium-sensitive diets.
