What it is
This is a finely grated hard cheese made from cow's milk. It is aged for a minimum of 10 months, which develops its characteristic sharp, nutty, and savory flavor. The texture is dry and crumbly, making it easy to sprinkle over dishes. It is a popular choice for adding a distinct taste to a wide range of meals.

Kraft Grated Parmesan Cheese is most commonly used as a finishing touch. Sprinkle it generously over hot pasta dishes, pizzas, and soups. It can also be stirred into creamy sauces, gravies, and risotto during the last few minutes of cooking to add depth and richness. For an extra layer of flavor, incorporate it into breadcrumbs or flour when coating chicken, fish, or vegetables before frying or baking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh Parmesan, this grated version is more convenient for immediate use. While fresh Parmesan offers a more complex flavor profile and can be shaved or grated at home, the pre-grated form provides a consistent texture and is ready to use straight from the container, making it ideal for quick meal preparation.

How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the container tightly closed in the refrigerator. This helps to maintain its freshness and prevent it from drying out. Proper storage ensures the cheese retains its flavor and texture for future use.
