Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan) FAQ

What is Parmigiano Reggiano?

Parmigiano Reggiano is a DOP cow’s-milk cheese from Emilia-Romagna, Italy, aged a minimum of 12 months. We offer 24+ months for a fuller, nutty flavor.

Is Parmesan the same as Parmigiano Reggiano?

In the U.S., Parmesan can be a generic term. Parmigiano Reggiano is the original DOP cheese made to strict standards. All wedges and grated options here are genuine Parmigiano Reggiano.

Is Parmigiano Reggiano lactose free?

Yes. Due to natural fermentation and aging, Parmigiano Reggiano is considered naturally lactose free. It still contains milk proteins and is not suitable for those with milk allergies.

Does Parmigiano Reggiano use animal rennet?

Yes. Parmigiano Reggiano is made with animal rennet. It is not vegetarian.

How should I store Parmigiano Reggiano?

Wrap wedges in cheese paper or parchment, then place in a loose container and refrigerate. Use within 3 to 4 weeks after opening for best quality.

Can I freeze Parmesan?

Yes. Wrap tightly and freeze wedges for up to 2 to 3 months. Texture becomes more crumbly when thawed. Freshly grated Parmesan also freezes well for 1 to 2 months.

How much grated cheese does 1 lb. make?

One pound of Parmigiano Reggiano yields about 4 to 5 cups when grated, depending on grater size and packing.

Is the rind edible?

The rind is not intended to be eaten as is, but it is excellent for simmering in soups and sauces to add umami, then discarded.

How is the grated option prepared and packed?

We grate genuine Parmigiano Reggiano to order and seal it promptly. Keep refrigerated and use within 35 days, or freeze for longer storage.

Which size should I buy?

Choose 1 lb. for weekly cooking, 2 lb. for frequent use, and 3 lb. for families or entertaining. Freshly grated is best for convenience and ready-to-use recipes.
