Uniekaas
pronounced "pah-RA-no"
| Parrano by Uniekaas is a Dutch cheese blending young Gouda’s creamy, sweet texture with the nutty, savory flavors of aged Parmesan. Produced in Holland using Friesan-Holstein cow milk and Parmigiano-Reggiano starter cultures, it is vegetarian-friendly (microbial rennet) and aged five months for balanced flavor and small crystals. Parrano melts well, suits versatile culinary uses, and appeals to both Gouda and Parmesan fans. Its wax rind is inedible, and the cheese is best stored in cheese paper. It is a crowd-pleaser, gold-medal winner, and positioned as the “vegetarian’s Parmesan” and an ideal “gateway” aged cheese. | |
