I realize that today the Parmesan cheese is my favorite. In fact, when I buy I always think of watching it slowly eating with pasta, snacks, etc., And finally just eating her almost a capella while I cook, so I usually avoid buying very often. It turns out that since 2005, thanks to which I have learned from Twitter, has joined the Parmesan cheese in the diet of astronauts, which seems to me the less fantastic.

Must be said that no is the first time this cheese is a space mission, in fact part of the diet of astronauts preparing the Russians since 2000, and for the recovery phase when they return to earth. The novelty is that now it has been included in the diet of the astronauts on the ISS to be consumed during flights.

The properties that point to this cheese as an official food of the diet of the astronauts is that it has good digestibility, high content of calcium in a form that is easily absorbed by the body (useful to restore bone calcium after losses due to the absence of gravity), is a product without preservatives or additives nutual course organoleptic qualities are also taken into account. And I very much agree.
