USDA FDC SR Legacy record 170848. USDA publishes no record for the protected designation; this is its record for hard parmesan. Its grated-parmesan record carries a measured density but nearly 14 g of carbohydrate per 100 g, which describes a shelf-stable grated product rather than the cheese. Density estimated from the hard-cheese-grated class.
