Is parmesan cheese gluten free?
Parmesan is a cheese, cheese is made from milk, and milk (not being connected with wheat, barley or rye) is gluten free. However. Some cheese which is sold ready grated is coated in modified starch to stop it sticking together. This generally applies to cheese with a lot of oil content, like cheddar. Although I have never found a pack of grated parmesan which was coated in this way, you should just check the small print ingredients label. If there is no mention of anything except dairy stuff, it will be ok. In the UK, you should just check the Allergy Advice panel, which will say if the product contains gluten.
