Why Yevgeny Klopotenko Calls Parmesan Cheap Cheese

Today we will tell you why not all hard cheeses are worth their money, and why you still decide to buy parmesan. At the end of the article, you will find a recipe for a real Italian pasta with aromatic parmesan.



I always wanted to try all varieties of cheese, because each of them has its own unique texture, aroma and taste. There are so many different kinds of shelves on the shelves that eyes run out, but all ambitions are eclipsed by the price tag. If the cheese is quality and natural, it will never cost cheap, but this does not mean that you need to deny yourself the pleasure and as usual to buy a piece of Russian cheese that is already boring. Isn't diversity worth the money spent?



What is the peculiarity of Parmesan Parmesan - a natural cheese 100% with strict cooking technology. Cows eat a special herb that does not release coloring enzymes into milk. Then three ingredients are added to the cheese: rennet enzyme, salt and whey from previous pressings. In the second stage, the cheese is placed under a press, and in the third stage, a head of cheese is placed in a salt bath for three weeks.



So, a protective crust forms on Parmesan. Maturation of cheese occurs within 12-36 months. A real quality Parmesan must have an impression of Parmigiano Reggiano. This impression will not be on parmesan with defects. Parmesan can not be cut into smooth pieces, it is injected with slices or rubbed on a grater.



Evgeny Klopotenko – Ukrainian chef, winner of the 5th season of the culinary show “MasterChef”. He recommends not to be afraid of Parmesan and urges you to experiment in the kitchen: Parmesan is cheap, in any incomprehensible situation add Parmesan to the dish. If you just make Parmesan taste better, your receptors will be at the mercy of the aftertaste for twenty minutes.



Parmesan is more of a spice than cheese. It enhances the taste of any dish added to it. And it is combined with absolutely everything: oatmeal, risotto, cream soup, salads and baked vegetables.
