Explain in 100 words or less why parmaseion is essential to the

It's actually only essential to a handful of dishes and a lot of the things you think it should be used for actually call for pecorino.

JUSTA LIKE MY MOMMA USED TO MAKE IT

>>8216813
Pecorino and parmesan are nearly identical.

>>8216827
When I buy pecorino romano I always just eat it straight since it has a milder flavor and is easier to cut in relatively small slices. So salty and so delicious

yummy yummy in my tummy

Top fucking kek

it's essentially melty salt. add it to things you want melty and salty, which is most italian food.

>>8216850

I've always found parmesan to be more mild than pecorino

>>8216795
It is essential because
>Can't find salt in your village but the cheese monger is your friend and will sell you cheaper cheese than getting actual course salt?

they dont put salt in fucking anything so they need it to give whatever dish it is flavor

>>8216827
>Pecorino and parmesan are nearly identical.
you're talking out of your ass
parmesan is nearly identical to grana, because these are the same exact cheeses produced in different places - cow milk (I think it's cow at least) "aged" for some 30 minths
pecorino is goat cheese instead, and it's usually aged for less, but the main thing is it tastes different and much more salty because it's made from goat milk

>>8217192
>accusing others of talking out the ass
>much more salty because it's made from goat milk
k bud

>>8217205

>not knowing goats have a higher salt content in their blood so the milk is basically salted already

your first day in the kitchen, bud?

>>8217156
You're right, it's in the name. Pecarino sounds like picanté, which is spicy

Parmesan has a nutty, earthy flavor. That's the reason fake parmesan is so horrible, it's overly pungent and artificial.

>>8216795
Since the middle of Italy had fertile lands to grow crops/grass/pastures/cows and lots of milk but no way to store such a thing, the salty cheese was a good way too keep milk from going to waste and the Italians didn't want to waste anything, they made a salty preserved dairy product and incorporated it into daily recipes.

>>8217500

Not just #1, the ONLY result. The rest are suggestions.

because pasta is plain as fuck and that parmesan makes Italian food respectable

Pasta Putanesca is the only "seafood" dish where it acceptable to include parmesan, or any cheese for that matter.
