Jewel 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese (8 oz.)
Item Purchased: Jewel 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese (8 oz.)
Location Purchased: Jewel / 1224 S. Wabash Ave. / Chicago, IL
Price: $2.99 + tax
Review: How fortunate. My co-worker brought in some beef mostaccioli to share with me today but she forgot the cheese. Luckily, I needed some parmesan for this evening.
Jewel's store brand Parmesan is not the best you can get, but it certainly isn't bad. It seems ridiculous to me that the label says "100% Grated" though. Do they sell a 50% Grated parmesan cheese that just has a half a block of cheese sitting at the bottom of the container?
As a garnish for pastas and soups, Jewel's parmesan will do you well. I don't recommend it as a cooking cheese or as a primary flavor ingredient. For that, I would drop a few more bucks and get some fresh parmesan and grate it yourself. That being said, I must admit, that whenever I find myself alone with a container of this stuff, I do often eat it by the handful. What can I say? I'm from Wisconsin! Cheese is in my blood!
This cheese has a slight taste of the plastic it is sold in, but again, I only know that because I eat it alone. Stick to using it as a topping and you'll never notice.
