Did You Know?

Parmigiano-Reggiano,
also known in English as Parmesan, is a hard, granular cheese, cooked
but not pressed, named after the producing areas near Parma, Reggio
Emilia, Modena, and Bologna (all in Emilia-Romagna), and Mantova (in
Lombardia), Italy. Under Italian law, only cheese produced in these
provinces may be labelled "Parmigiano-Reggiano", while European law
classifies the name as a protected designation of origin.
Parmigiano is the Italian adjective for Parma. Reggiano is the Italian
adjective for Reggio Emilia. Parmesan is the French name for it and
also serves as the informal term for the cheese in the English
language. The name Parmesan is also used for cheeses which imitate
Parmigiano-Reggiano, with phrases such as "Italian hard cheese" adopted
to skirt legal constraints. The closest legitimate Italian cheese to
Parmigiano-Reggiano is Grana Padano.
