Hendricks Farm Parmesan
Tuesday, October 02, 2007
My refrigerator is awash in parmesan rinds. I save them for use in flavoring soup stocks. And I never run out because I use parmesan like it’s my job or something. And that crappy sawdust-esque crap that comes in the shake can gives me the hives. It’s good parmesan on everything!
I’ve heard rumors that I could get locally made parmesan, but up until recently I hadn’t seen it anywhere. The other day, though, I found Hendrick’s Farm parmesan at Salumeria cheese shop at Reading Terminal Market. It’s really more a snacking parmesan than a grating parmesan. Granted, I used it grated over some pasta the other night and it was delicious!
Their parmesan is a full fat cheese, aged about one year. It has a nice nuttiness to it. A good, all around parmesan!
