Type of Milk: Cow
Variety: Gouda
Country of Origin: Netherlands
Notes: A marriage of creamy Gouda and nutty Parmesan
Parrano cheese is a cow milk cheese produced in the Netherlands. It tastes mild and nutty, combining salty and sweet flavors. It has a semi-firm texture and a smooth, golden colored paste. Made from pasteurized milk, Parrano is produced in 20-lb wheels and is aged for 5 months.
Combining the flavour of aged parmesan with a pliant texture, Parrano is marketed as an Italian-style cheese. However, Parrano is technically Gouda cheese, although its flavor is more pronounced than that of traditional Gouda. Parrano is a versatile cheese that is easy to shred, slice and melt. It is well suited for entertaining, cooking and snacking. Its flavor complements many different types of cuisine, especially Italian dishes.
