Hard

An aged Italian hard cheese with an intense, savory umami flavor and granular texture. Parmigiano-Reggiano is the king of cheeses, essential for pasta, risotto, and salads.
Grate fresh over pasta, risotto, and salads. Save the rind — add to soups and sauces for deep umami flavor. Use a vegetable peeler for shavings on salads. Store wrapped in parchment, then foil in the fridge.
