Ingredients
Parmigiano-Reggiano
Parmesan is most famous in the USA in the green shaker box. None of the recipes
on this site use that type of cheese.
All of the recipes that use parmesan call for Parmigiano-Reggiano. This is a hard granular cheese that originates in Parma Italy. Those made in the area of Parma and Reggio Emilia are the real deal. Whenever possible I use the Italian cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano) rather than domestic or imports from South America. This costs more but the flavor difference is worth it.
The essential ingredients in Parmigiano - Reggiano, as with most cheeses, are milk, salt and rennet. Rennet is an enzyme that helps catalyze the fermentation of the cheese and is considered an animal product.
Parmesans have about 9 grams of fat per ounce. This is moderate for cheese. Good parmesans have such a fine flavor you don't need much.
