Ingredient: Parmesan cheese

Parmesan, also known as Parmigiano-Reggiano, is a famous Italian hard cheese, originating from the regions of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna and Mantua in Italy. Parmesan is made from cow's milk and is known for its tangy and salty flavor as well as its hard, grainy texture.

Parmesan is often grated or shaved and sprinkled over pasta, risotto, salads and other dishes in Italian and international cuisine. It is also an important ingredient in dishes such as spaghetti bolognese and lasagne. Parmesan is known for its intense, umami-rich flavour and its versatile use in the kitchen.
