Saltless Sea Creamery's ParMichigano

Tastemaker

Sept. 21, 2024

A friend recently sent a meme that said, “Cheese: the only fast-acting antidepressant.” Now, we’re not here to give mental health advice, but we can certainly attest to the power of the ParMichigano, Saltless Sea Creamery’s take on the classic Parmigiano Reggiano, aka parmesan. (Fun fact: The name of this style of cheese is a bit like Champagne from France vs. sparkling wine from everywhere else, but we digress.) The milk for the ParMichigano is sourced from DeVor Dairy Farm & Creamery in Kalkaska, and while it’s obviously not vegan, it is vegetarian, which is uncommon for this type of cheese! The result is nutty and packed with flavor, especially after being cave-aged for 8-12 months. Find a wedge (or inquire after a wheel) at Oryana, Lakeview Hill Farm, or farmers markets in Traverse City. saltlesssea.com
