Parmesan

A cheese with a rich history and a vibrant future

Parmesan is as rich in history as it is in flavor. Dating back to the Middle Ages, Parmesan was created in Italy and named after the region where it originated –the Parma-Reggio region. Today, Americans have adapted the name Parmesan for the hard, granular cheese that is a favorite in home kitchens and a staple in the foodservice industry.

The rich and tangy flavor profile creates an amazing depth of flavor in a dish and even a small amount of Parmesan can go a long way to increase flavor, richness, satiety and satisfaction. This umami food is an incredibly valuable tool in keeping food costs down in today’s climate.
