So, what is parmesan cheese?
Parmesan cheese, also known as Parmigiano-Reggiano, is a hard, dry cheese with a sharp, nutty flavor and a grainy texture. It's made from cow's milk and aged for at least 12 months, resulting in a rich and complex flavor profile. Parmesan cheese is a staple ingredient in Italian cuisine, commonly used to add depth of flavor to pasta dishes, risottos, salads, and soups. Its versatility also makes it a popular addition to many international recipes. In addition to its culinary uses, Parmesan cheese is also a good source of protein, calcium, and vitamins A and B12.
