Grated Parmesan and Romano Cheese Blend
What it is
This is a blend of two hard, aged Italian cheeses, Parmesan and Romano. It is finely grated, making it easy to sprinkle and melt. The combination offers a complex flavor profile, bringing together the nutty, slightly sweet notes of Parmesan with the sharper, saltier tang of Romano. It comes in a convenient container for everyday use in the kitchen.

You can use this grated cheese blend directly from the container. Sprinkle it generously over hot pasta dishes, or add it to the top of your favorite pizza before baking.
