Can this be made with almonds? My kids have cashew allergy. TY
yes, absolutely! It may have a sightly different flavor profile, but it will still be delicious.
This was really tasty, especially on pasta.
Best parmesan! I was craving so much the taste of parmesan on my pasta, this is spot on. Thanks!
