Parmesan cheese if one of my favourite cheese. It is a hard granular cheeses, cooked but not pressed, named after the producing areas near Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna and Mantova in Italy. Only cheese produced in these provinces may be labelled Parmigiano-Reggiano, which is the Italian name of Parmesan cheese.

I thought it would great to try paring parmesan cheese with smoked salmon and perhaps add some of tomato coulis too. So, that’s how the idea of putting this dish together came about. As part of the Royal Selangor – Get Your Jelly On– 30-day Challenge, I use Royal Selangor Pewter Jelly Mould to make into a cone shape starter. This is great to be shared by 2 persons. Another option is you could also put this together using small individual shot glasses, layer each ingredient.

It is best to serve this slightly chilled and it’s great to serve for a dinner party!
