What You Should Know

A tub of Mitica grated Parmigiano Reggiano is the refrigerated finishing touch you grab in the cheese aisle or deli case when you want to dress up pastas, salads, or soups. It feels indulgent and a bit nostalgic — the sharp, umami sprinkle that elevates weeknight meals or holiday dishes — and the simple ingredient list and grated texture reflect traditional aging and mechanical processing rather than industrial reformulation. The lack of additives or emulsifiers points away from ultra‑processing and toward a classically processed cheese (aged, salted, enzymatically set and shredded).

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Parmigiano Reggiano is an aged cheese made from milk, salt and rennet and then grated — a form of processed food (NOVA 3) due to fermentation, aging and added salt, but it lacks the industrial additives characteristic of ultra-processed products (NOVA 4).
