We normally buy a CHUNK of parmesan and shred it ourselves. But I thought I would try something new this
time, thought I would go the “lazy route” and buy some pre-shredded
cheese. After all, I need products to
review, right?

I really like parmesan.
And this was a good tasting one. It
was just a weird SIZE in my opinion. The
shreds were not big enough to munch on as chunks, yet were too big to throw on
top of pasta and call it a day…

I guess the ideal use for this cheese would be on top of homemade
PIZZA. That way it would melt and, as so
many people like to say, size wouldn’t matter.
We did find another use for it – we put it in homemade
pesto. Once a year we celebrate PESTO
DAY by harvesting all of the pesto out of our garden, borrowing a food
processor, and going crazy making pesto.
We put cheese in some of it and leave some of it “naked”. So we used this shredded parmesan for that
and it seems fine.
