Parrano Cheese
Parrano cheese is a cow milk cheese produced in the Netherlands. It tastes mild and nutty, combining salty and sweet flavours. It has a semi-firm texture and a smooth, golden coloured paste. Made from pasteurized milk, Parrano is produced in wheels and is aged for 5 months. Combining the flavour of aged parmesan with a pliant texture, Parrano is marketed as an Italian-style cheese.

Both "Parmigiano Reggiano" and "Parmesan" are protected designations of origin (PDO) for cheeses produced in these provinces under Italian and European law.
