One of the finest cheeses in the world, parmesan has been made in Italy for more than 700 years. The full name is parmigiano-reggiano and it comes from a small area of the country comprising Parma, from which it gets its name. Emilia-Romagna is the production zone from which the milk is made—a zone whose boundaries are fixed by law. There is a strict production code, preserving a centuries old tradition that allows no additives, no antifermentatives, no substances, other than milk and rennet and requires that each wheel of cheese is constantly monitored for its eighteen month maturation period. In addition to the producers brand, a consortium seal guarantees its age and quality.
