Parmesan
Parmesan, or Parmigiano-Reggiano, is a hard, aged Italian cheese made from cow's milk, known for its crumbly, granular texture and complex nutty, fruity, and savory umami flavor profile. Produced under strict regulations in a specific region of Italy, it is aged for at least 12 months and is often grated over pasta, risottos, soups, and other dishes, or enjoyed on its own.
