Shaved Parmesan @ TJ's

aem said:

I know some of you have Trader Joes nearby, so I thought I'd mention
they had a new product yesterday -- Shaved Grana Padano Parmesan. Aged
16 months, shaved, not grated, not whole. Product of Italy. Had some
tonight and found it very tasty. The shavings are more fun than just
grated cheese. -aem

KEWL! I'll look for it.

bucks:

I would use a vegetable peeler if I wanted to "shave" a block of
parmesean.

I don't like anything shaved unless I do it myself.

I'd love to but I have to stay home and shave my cheese.

I just got some recently too!
I used it in salad last night that was served alongside a rosemary chicken. Very
tasty.

Plus, avoid flavor loss/change due to oxidation, which happens a lot
more quickly when there's lots of exposed surface.

We finished a tub of it on our raosted-veggie pasta last night. Good
flavor. And the shavings are a fun change from shreds.

We really liked it on ceasar salad.

I also use one of those, but when the cheese is too hard for that, I
use a potato peeler of this type:

Yes, you can only shaved quality aged semi-hard cheeses that, athough
nicely aged, still have sufficient moisture in them. Those Parmesan
"bricks" in the Albertson's cold case ain't gonna get it.

Made a kind of cheeseburgers last night: when I was seasoning and
shaping the patties I added a generous amount of this shaved cheese and
mixed it in. Then pan-grilled them the regular way. We liked the
result. -aem
