description Parrano Overview

Parrano is a branded Dutch cow's-milk cheese produced by Uniekaas. It has a semi-hard, smooth texture modeled on young Gouda and a nutty, savory flavor associated with Parmesan, which is why it is often described as combining features of both cheeses. Parrano Originale is made from pasteurized cow's milk, salt, starter cultures, and microbial rennet, and is intended for people seeking a Gouda-style cheese with a Parmesan-like flavor.
