Cheeses That Go from Quiet to Quite Intense

Parmigiano-Reggiano (often more loosely referred to as Parmesan) is aged for years to develop a hard, crystalline texture, and its savory, umami-rich flavor is precisely why it is one of the most respected cheeses anywhere on the globe. Ideal for grating over pasta, soups, or salads to give them an extremely strong and deeply enjoyable flavor, the epitome of balance between sharpness and richness.
