About Extra parmesan cheese
Extra Parmesan Cheese, a hard, aged cheese, originates from Italy and is renowned for its rich, nutty flavor and granular texture. Made primarily from cow's milk, it undergoes a meticulous aging process, often exceeding 12 months, which intensifies its distinctive taste. Parmesan is a staple in Italian cuisine, frequently grated over pasta, soups, and salads, or enjoyed in thin shards. Nutritionally, it boasts high protein content and provides essential nutrients like calcium and phosphorus, supporting bone health. It is also low in lactose, making it suitable for some individuals with lactose sensitivities. However, Parmesan is relatively high in sodium and saturated fat, which should be considered for those monitoring heart health or blood pressure. Its umami-packed flavor means a little goes a long way, offering an impactful way to enhance dishes without needing large quantities. An iconic choice for culinary enthusiasts, Parmesan cheese delivers both taste and versatility.
