Frigo 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, and slightly fruity flavor. The fine grating makes it easy to sprinkle and incorporate into dishes. It comes in a convenient shaker-top container for simple use.
