BelGioioso Parmesan-Romano Freshly Shredded Cheese
What it is
This is a blend of two classic Italian hard cheeses, Parmesan and Romano, pre-shredded for convenience. The cheese is made from pasteurized cow's milk and aged to develop its characteristic sharp and nutty flavors. The fine shred allows it to melt easily and distribute evenly in dishes. It offers a complex taste profile that enhances many savory preparations.
