Nutritional values

Even if you like to be stingy with fat calories: Treat yourself to Parmesan with a clear conscience. It provides particularly rich calcium for strong bones and good teeth. Together with the Parma ham, the grated cheese also provides a lot of protein.

You won't go wrong with potatoes as an accompaniment - but potato gnocchi or tagliatelle go very well with this Italo delicacy! Instead of Parma ham, the Italian beef ham Bresaola tastes just as good with asparagus.
