Summary
This freshly shaved Parmesan cheese is primarily made from high-quality ingredients like pasteurized part-skim milk, cheese cultures, salt, and enzymes, which are traditional and minimally processed. However, the inclusion of powdered cellulose to prevent caking and natamycin as a preservative introduces a level of processing that slightly detracts from its overall purity. Despite these additives, the product maintains a strong nutritional profile with high protein content and beneficial nutrients.
