Grated Parmesan, 5 OZ
What You Should Know
You’d spot this in the dairy aisle or on the pasta shelf of a grocery run — the grab-and-sprinkle fix for weeknight spaghetti or a quick Caesar. It feels convenient and a little nostalgic (the familiar Parmesan finish), and the grated form plus added potato/corn starches signal processing to control texture and clumping rather than a fresh wedge. These attributes point to a processed cheese product (shelf-friendly, ready-to-use) rather than an intact, minimally handled cheese.
