Bashas Shredded Parmesan, Romano, and Asiago Cheese Blend
What it is
This is a pre-shredded blend of three classic Italian hard cheeses: Parmesan, Romano, and Asiago. Each cheese brings its own distinct flavor profile to the mix. Parmesan offers a nutty and slightly sweet taste. Romano is known for its sharp, salty, and pungent character. Asiago provides a milder, buttery, and slightly tangy flavor. Together, they create a complex and savory cheese combination perfect for a variety of culinary applications.
