THE FLAVOR OF PARMESAN
No cheese says "Italian" like Parmesan cheese. Its rich, salty taste
enhances the flavor of many dishes, Italian or not.
Cheese connoisseurs can tell the difference between true Italian
ParmigianaReggiano and its closely related cousin Parmesan, which is
made outside Italy. Production of Parmigiana-Reggiano is strictly
regulated to maintain its unique taste. The cheese typically is aged
from two to four years there, compared to about 14 months in the United States.
Both domestic and imported cheeses are found in many supermarkets, as
well as in specialty cheese shops and Italian markets. Its rising
popularity has pushed manufacturers to offer the cheese already
shredded in packages or in chunks for you to grate at home.
You'll also find a mild, domestic Parmesan in a drier, grated form
available in shakers at most grocery stores.
