Frigo Grated Parmesan Cheese
What it is
This is finely grated, aged Parmesan cheese. It is made from cow's milk and has a hard, granular texture. The cheese is aged for a minimum of 12 months, which develops its characteristic sharp, nutty, and savory flavor. It is a popular choice for adding a rich taste to a variety of dishes. The fine grating makes it easy to sprinkle and incorporate into recipes. It comes in a convenient shaker-top container for easy use.

This grated Parmesan is ready to use straight from the container. It is perfect for a quick and easy flavor boost. Sprinkle it generously over hot pasta, pizza, or risotto. It can also be incorporated into sauces, marinades, or used as a topping for baked dishes like casseroles and gratins. For a savory crust on chicken or fish, mix it into your breadcrumb coating. Its fine texture allows it to melt smoothly into warm foods, adding depth and complexity to the overall taste profile.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to block Parmesan, grated Parmesan is already broken down into small particles. This makes it more convenient for immediate use as a topping or for quick incorporation into recipes. Block Parmesan often has a slightly more intense flavor and can be shaved or grated at home for a fresher taste, but grated Parmesan offers unparalleled ease of use.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike use grated Parmesan to elevate their culinary creations.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, keep the container tightly closed after each use. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is recommended to preserve its quality and prevent it from drying out or clumping. Ensure the lid is securely fastened to prevent moisture absorption.
