Sartori Grated Parmesan Cheese
What it is
This is finely grated Parmesan cheese, a hard, dry cheese made from cow's milk. It is aged for a minimum of 10 months, which develops its characteristic sharp, nutty flavor and crumbly texture. The fine grating makes it easy to sprinkle and melt, perfect for adding a savory depth to a variety of dishes. It comes in a convenient small package for easy use.
How people cook with it
Grated Parmesan is a versatile ingredient that enhances both simple and complex meals. It adds a salty, umami note that is hard to replicate.
- Sprinkled over pasta
- Mixed into risotto
- Topped on salads
- Baked into gratins
This grated Parmesan is ready to use straight from the package. It is ideal for finishing dishes just before serving, allowing its flavor to shine. You can also incorporate it into sauces, batters, or doughs where its fine texture will distribute evenly. For baked dishes, it creates a lovely golden-brown crust when sprinkled on top. Its saltiness means you may need to adjust the amount of other salt in your recipe.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to shredded or block Parmesan, grated cheese melts more quickly and evenly due to its smaller particle size. This makes it excellent for applications where a smooth texture is desired, like in creamy sauces or as a topping that quickly becomes golden.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike use grated Parmesan to add a classic Italian flavor to their creations.
How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the package tightly to prevent the cheese from drying out. Store in the refrigerator. It is best to use the remaining cheese within a few days for optimal freshness and flavor.
