At a glance
Summary
This shaved Parmesan cheese is made from high-quality ingredients like pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt, and enzymes, which are traditional in cheese-making. However, the addition of anti-caking agents such as potato and corn starch increases its processing level, which limits its score despite the otherwise clean ingredient list.
