Parmesan is one of those luxuries that you shouldn't compromise on. It has a nutty, fruity, salty satisfying flavor that is excellent on its own or in so many recipes. Seriously - if what you are making tastes a bit 'flat' add a little Parmesan and you'll taste a world of difference!
I know people get the crazy little green can and avoid the real thing because it seems too expensive. Truth is the real thing is so much more flavorful you'll find you use less and still get as much or more flavor.
The REAL THING is made from cow's milk and comes from Parma in Italy. Its produced in very large wheels - large 84lb wheels. The wheels are branded on the outer layer - which is the rind. Although there are uses for the rind (flavoring soups and sauces) - its the cheese part that we use the most. So when you wade through that Parmesan rock pile - choose the one with the smallest rind and most grateable 'cheese'.
Easy right?!
