The production standards of genuine Parmesan cheese
- Only three ingredients are used: grass-fed milk, salt, and enzymes.
- Cattle eat specific types of grass, and the fiber is broken down by gut microbes to produce nutrients .
- No high-temperature sterilization is performed throughout the process, preserving natural bacterial strains.
- The minimum maturation period is 12 months, with common versions having 14 , 24 months, or even longer.
- Microbial fermentation during the aging process produces unique flavor and nutrients.
The problem with the American-made counterfeit " Parmesan"
- Use partially skimmed, pasteurized milk
- Add artificial preservatives (such as potassium sorbate ) .
- No aging required, single flavor
- Lack of natural microorganisms and fermentation process
- Contains lactose, which is not suitable for people with lactose intolerance.
