The Italians are horrified by our usage of this, the world's most famous hard cheese. Here in the States, it is thought of as purely a grating cheese. The rest of the world savours Parmigiano Reggiano as a delicious, full-flavored eating cheese.

It began life seven centuries ago in the Italian provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, part of Bologna and part of Mantua. Nature blessed this zone with the most idealistic cattle grazing land to create the unique milk from the "Zone Tripica". The local cheese craftsmen took it from there, utilizing a totally natural process that has not changed for 700 years. No additives, no machinery, no gimmicks. Just sweet, fresh milk in its pristine state; the artisan's ancient skills and then nature's own good time (aged from 18 to 20 months). What you see today is just what the knights, serfs, saints and kings of old ate!

America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Illustrated have both voted igourmet.com's Parmigiano Reggiano #1 in their quest to find the best Parmesan in America today. "We preferred the igourmet regular and Vacche Rosse Parmigiano-Reggiano by a landslide, ranking them significantly higher than the other cheeses for complexity of flavor and appealing texture. And when we tasted the regular Parmigiano from igourmet against our supermarket cheeses, it was an easy winner."

The picture doesn't depict an 80 lb form

"Not only is the real parmigiano-reggiano far more complex and delicious than anything simply called "parmesan," it's actually lower in sodium as well, which is important to some of us. This cheese has about a third of the sodium of domestic imitators that are neither made as carefully nor aged as long. Save the rinds and use them in soup, risotto, or any long-simmering dish that could benefit from the subtle n..." Read Full Review »

Chewy

"We frequently order this cheese and this is the first time we were disappointed. It could be because by the time we got it the cool pack wasn't cool any more, but instead of sharp and crumbly the cheese was chewy and rather bland tasting. Very disappointing [...]..." Read Full Review »

"Having lived in Bologna, Italy this is the only Parmigiano I will eat! This is the BEST and only real Parmigiano. Anything else is imitation. And they do serve it grated on pasta in Italy as well. It would ruin the dish to serve anything less. However, never put this or any other cheese on a sh …"  Read Full Review »

"Of the three pounds ordered, two were the correct weight. The price was right, however, there's too much rind, which really can't be used (though it does add to the weight). Unless it's on sale, it's not a good buy. It is fresher, but at [...] I can get more useable product (less rind). "
