Grated Parmesan, 5 OZ
What You Should Know
That small 5-oz tub you snag from the cheese section when you want an instant sprinkle of Parmesan on pasta, salads or garlic bread—quick, familiar and a little indulgent. It feels like a weeknight shortcut that recalls comforting Italian-American meals. The label shows real Parmesan but also potato and corn starch as anti-caking agents, indicating added processing to maintain a dry, free‑flowing texture rather than a minimally processed whole food.
