Very good reason for parmesan I typically included (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sanity

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'very good reason' is the definition.
'sanity' can be an answer for 'reason' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'very good' bit.

'parmesan i typically included' is the wordplay.
'included' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (I've seen 'include' mean this).
'SANITY' is hidden within 'parmesan i typically'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sanity that I've seen before include "State of having a healthy mind" , "Reason, condition of being compos mentis" , "Rationality" , "Soundness of mind" , "Sound powers of mind" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
