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.

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.
