About Parmazan
Parmesan, or Parmigiano-Reggiano, is a hard, aged cheese originating from Italy, specifically the Emilia-Romagna region. Made from cow’s milk, it undergoes a meticulous process of aging for a minimum of 12 months, resulting in a nutty, salty flavor with granular texture. Parmesan is rich in protein, calcium, and phosphorus, which contribute to strong bones and muscle health. It’s naturally lactose-free due to its aging process, making it suitable for those with lactose intolerance. However, it is high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key. Commonly grated over pasta, risotto, soups, or salads, Parmesan is a staple in Italian cuisine. Look for authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano marked with its rind label to ensure quality and origin. Backed by its bold flavor and dense nutrients, Parmesan elevates dishes while supporting balanced nutrition when enjoyed mindfully.
