Shredded Parmesan Cheese

"Parmesan cheese that has been blessing bowls of pasta and charcuterie boards alike for centuries. We offer multiple takes on this perennially useful cheese, but today we’re talking about our conveniently pre-Shredded Parmesan Cheese variety. Made to mix in, garnish, and embellish dishes-a-plenty to bring that world famous and well-loved piquancy home with you!

Like all other cheeses, Parmesan starts its life as a cultured milk mixture that is heated to create a hard, granular cheese. However unlike all others, Parmesan typically includes added salt as a preservative and is aged for at least a few months. We age Trader Joe’s Shredded Parmesan Cheese for a minimum of ten months to enhance that sharp and strong savory flavor and create the characteristic dry, gritty texture that Parmesan is known for. We especially recommend sprinkling it over pizza and pasta, where its inherent umami notes will synergize spectacularly with rich and tangy tomato sauce."
