Is Parmesan cheese the same as Romano?
Parmesan is and is not the same as Parmigiano. Parmesan cheese is a term commonly applied for commercial purposes outside of Italy to Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, one of Italy's finest. Parmigiano Reggiano is a DOP product which means it is protected by European Law and only the cheese made from the zone of Parma and nearby can be classed as the real thing. Parmesan cheese is, therefore, a cheap imitation.

Where did parmesan cheese originate?
Yes, parmesan comes from "Parma" a provence in Italy. More detailed information can be found here: http://www.parmaitaly.it/parmigianok.html To give a quick synopsis: Parma is famous for Parmigiano Reggiano, which by degree of a 1955 law can only come from the Provences of Modena, Parma, Reggio Emilia, and partially of Bologne and Modena. Many cheeses in this country are marked Parmesan, especially the ones PRE-grated and stuck in a paper container with a shaker top. YUKES, that's little more than cheese flavored cardboard. Definitely not "real" Parmesan. Buy the real "Parmigiano Reggiano", you will see the name inscribed on the rind if it is an Italian original. It is worth the money! My husband insists that a chunk of cheese be placed on a plate with a small hand grater so that he can add his own freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano to his meals. Try it .... you'll like it especially on soups.
What country produces mozzarella cheese?
Parmesan is the English name for parmigiano, an Italian cheese, and there are a few varieties (such as Padana and Reggiano). There are versions made in other countries as well. Argentina produces a version of Reggiano called Reggianito, for example, which is based on the Italian cheese. Laws dictate who can use the name reggiano (similar to how many wine names are protected) so if it has that deisngation, it's from Italy. However, there are also versions of parmesan made locally in many countries.
