Parmesan cheese comes from Parma in Italy. It’s named after that region. This dry, sharp aged cheese is world famous and very popular. Legend says it was developed as far back as the middle ages. Today, making Parmigiana Reggiano cheese takes 18% of Italy’s milk production. The name Parmigiana Reggiano is protected by trade laws. But, outside of the European Union, cheese made in the style of Parmgiana Reggiano can use the name Parmesan.
