Summary

This shredded parmesan cheese is made from pasteurized part skim milk, cheese culture, salt, and enzymes, which are beneficial for providing essential nutrients like calcium and protein. However, it includes additives such as potato starch, corn starch, and natamycin to prevent caking and mold, which slightly detract from its overall quality. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite the relatively clean ingredient list.
