9 Parmesan Cheese Recipes That Taste Like Perfection

Do you like your Parmesan sliced, shaved or grated? Whichever way you prefer, Parmesan is one of the most widely used cheeses around the world. Parmesan cheese is incredibly versatile, finding uses in everything from soups to pastas to desserts. Hailing from the Parma-Reggio region of Italy, the origins of this cheese date back to 1254, nearly 900 years ago! The process of making Parm is extensive. Unlike other cheeses like goat cheese and feta cheese, Parmesan has a long shelf life and requires the best quality in milk to complete the final outcome.

If you’re in the mood to satisfy your savoury tooth, try out these nine delicious Parmesan cheese recipes for your next meal.
