Question: is parmesan cheese dairy free?
Answer: Many cheeses are off limits to people on a lactose-free diet, but not Parmigiano Reggiano® cheese, which happens to be a 100 percent lactose-free cheese. The reason is that within 6 to 8 hours after the cheese is made, lactose is transformed into easy-to-digest lactic acid through the action of enzymes in the cheese.
