Parmigiano (ancora)

Perhaps you're paying attention to all the hullabaloo over whether German cheese that kinda-sorta-maybe tastes like Parmigiano can be called Parmigiano.

So the time seems right to take a look at what many (including me) believe is the most incredible, sophisticated cheese variety in the world.

Deceptively simple, deeply complex, full of flavor and nuance. Plus, it's really a fun word to say with an Italian accent. Repeat after me: "Par - MEE - Ja - no." See what I mean?

Enough with this silliness. To read the profile on Parmigiano Reggiano, click here.
