What's in a name? |
|
A cheese by any other name just isn’t Parmigiano Reggiano. In fact, in Europe a cheese cannot be called Parmesan unless it conforms to the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) standards for Parmigiano Reggiano. Cheese produced according to the rules contained in the Production Regulation is the only cheese entitled to bear the Parmigiano Reggiano mark.
