Kraft Grated Parmesan Cheese
What it is

You can use this grated cheese in many ways. Sprinkle it generously over your favorite pasta dishes, like spaghetti or lasagna, to enhance their flavor. Stir it into creamy sauces for soups, stews, or gravies to add a rich, umami taste. It also works well when mixed into breadcrumb coatings for fried or baked meats and vegetables. For a quick flavor boost, add it to scrambled eggs or omelets before cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to block parmesan, this grated form is more convenient for immediate use. It melts slightly differently due to its smaller particle size, distributing its flavor more evenly and quickly in dishes. It is also less likely to clump when sprinkled.
