About Parmesan reggiano
Parmesan Reggiano, often called the "King of Cheeses," is a hard, aged cheese originating from Northern Italy, specifically the Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, and surrounding provinces. Made from cow's milk, its creation follows a centuries-old process using only milk, salt, and rennet, with no additives or preservatives. Aged for a minimum of 12 months, Parmesan Reggiano develops a crumbly texture and rich, nutty flavor that enhances Italian dishes like pasta, risotto, and salads. Nutritionally, it's a concentrated source of protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle function. Parmesan is naturally lactose-free due to its extended aging process, making it accessible for lactose-sensitive individuals. However, it is calorie-dense and high in sodium, so moderation is recommended. This cheese is cherished not only for its unique taste but also for its simplicity and adherence to traditional craftsmanship.
