Kraft Grated Parmesan Cheese
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 salty flavor. The texture is dry and crumbly, making it easy to sprinkle over dishes. It is a versatile ingredient commonly found in kitchens.
How people cook with it
Parmesan cheese adds a savory depth to a wide range of meals. Its intense flavor means a little goes a long way.
- Sprinkled over pasta dishes
- Added to soups and stews
- Used in salad dressings
- Topped on roasted vegetables
This grated parmesan is ready to use straight from the container. It is ideal for finishing dishes, providing a burst of umami and a slightly salty finish. You can also incorporate it into recipes during the cooking process, such as stirring it into risotto or sauces to enhance their flavor profile. It melts well into hot foods, creating a rich and creamy texture. For a crispy topping, sprinkle it on casseroles or gratins before baking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other hard cheeses, this parmesan has a more pronounced salty and nutty taste due to its extended aging process. Its finely grated form allows it to distribute evenly and melt quickly, offering a different culinary experience than a block of cheese that needs to be grated at home.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike use this cheese to elevate their culinary creations.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, keep the container tightly sealed and store it in the refrigerator. It is best to consume it within the recommended timeframe after opening to enjoy its optimal flavor and texture. Avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods.
