Summary
This shredded Parmesan cheese is primarily composed of high-quality Parmesan, which is a good source of protein and calcium. However, it includes powdered cellulose to prevent caking and natamycin as a preservative, which are additives that slightly detract from its overall purity. The product is processed, which limits its score despite the beneficial ingredients.
