What You Should Know

You'd spot this grated Parmigiano Reggiano near the specialty cheeses or pasta aisle, ready to sprinkle on pasta, soups, salads or a hot bowl of risotto — a familiar pantry staple that evokes home-cooked Italian meals and a little tasteful indulgence. The ingredient list is just Parmigiano Reggiano (milk, salt, rennet), and the product is simply aged cheese that has been grated for convenience, so its processing mainly affects texture and form rather than adding industrial ingredients.
