Elevate your culinary creations with the intense, nutty flavor of Parmesan cheese powder. This finely ground cheese is a pantry staple for adding a savory umami boost to pasta dishes, soups, salads, and baked goods, offering convenience without compromising on taste.
Storage Time
Once opened, store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months for optimal flavor. Unopened, it can last for 1-2 years in a cool, dry pantry.
Temperature
Store in the refrigerator at 0–4°C (32–40°F) after opening. Unopened, a cool, dry pantry temperature is sufficient.
Freezing
While freezing Parmesan cheese powder is possible, it can slightly alter its texture, making it a bit more crumbly upon thawing. For best results, store in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag, removing as much air as possible. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before use. It's best used in cooked dishes where texture changes are less noticeable.
Signs of Spoilage
- Visible mold growth (any color other than the natural white of the cheese)
- An off, sour, or rancid smell
- A change in texture, such as becoming clumpy or slimy
