Parmigiano reggiano cheese

Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is a type of cheese that comes from Italy. It is a dairy product made from cow's milk and is known for its rich and savory flavour.

To make Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, first, high-quality cow's milk is heated and mixed with natural whey culture and rennet, which helps solidify the milk. The curds are then cut into small grains and heated again. The cheese is then left to mature for at least 12 months, during which time it develops its unique, nutty taste and crumbly texture.

Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is commonly used in cooking for its strong flavour and ability to enhance the taste of various dishes. It is often grated over pasta dishes like spaghetti bolognese or sprinkled on top of salads for added depth of flavour. Its presence on food labels indicates a premium quality cheese that imparts a rich, umami taste to recipes.
