Words from The French Pantry

This renowned Italian cheese has a sweet, fruity aroma that hints at its mild, fruity taste. Its extended aging process results in a granular texture that melts in your mouth.

Known in English as Parmesan, Parmigiano Reggiano is revered by cheese experts as one of the finest cheeses. Although many producers now make it, the PDO designation requires that true Parmesan must come from cows fed on fresh grass and hay.

Imitations of Parmigiano Reggiano are often labeled as "Parmesan" or "Italian hard cheese" to avoid legal complications. Parmigiano Reggiano derives its name from the provinces where it is produced: Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna, and Mantua.
