Parmesan is referred to as the King of Italian cheese because of its sweet, buttery and nutty taste. Parmesan originated in the Reggio and Parma regions of Italy.

Country of Origin:

Italy and the United States

Milk Source:

Cow

Appearance:

Straw-yellow interior

Texture:

Hard, granular, grainy, flaky

Flavor:

Buttery, sweet, nutty, intensifies with age

Cheesemaking:

Production begins when the previous evening's milk is added to the morning's milk. Next, the milk is heated and a starter culture and rennet is added. Coagulation occurs quickly and the curd is broken into tiny pieces for cooking. The curds are then heated and form a solid mass. After the curds become hard, they are removed in cheesecloth, placed in molds and tightly pressed. Last, the cheese is stamped and stored for ripening.
