eThekwini Grated Parmesan Cheese 1kg

Description eThekwini Grated Parmesan Cheese 1kg eThekwini Grated Parmesan Cheese – 1kg (Parmesana) Product Overview eThekwini Grated Parmesan (often marketed under the brand name Parmesana) is a specialized “imitation” or processed hard cheese designed for the food service industry. While traditional Parmigiano-Reggiano is aged for years and can be very costly, eThekwini’s version is engineered to provide a similar flavor profile and powdery texture at a fraction of the price. It is the industry standard for “table cheese” in pizzerias and pasta houses across South Africa.   Market Pricing Reference As of early 2026, the 1kg grated bag is typically priced for the catering and wholesale market: Format Channel Estimated Price (per kg) Wholesale / Bulk Catering Suppliers (e.g., Hoxies, Farm Connect) R115.00 – R145.00 Deli / Retail Specialty Food Stores R150.00 – R180.00 Key Features Significant Cost Saving: Offers the sharp, umami flavor of Parmesan at roughly one-third the price of imported natural alternatives.
