Their pride and joy, the team at the Consortium are all keen tell you the story! Parmesan is an ideal cheese for cooking. It is present yet not overbearing. Its supple texture, tender yet slightly oily, makes it easy to work with and preserves its explosive taste whether grated, cut in slivers or crumbled. It also has the advantage of blending very well with many other ingredients.
