About Parmesan cheese
Wikipedia Article About Parmesan cheese on Wikipedia

Parmesan is the cheese known in Italian as Parmigiano Reggiano DOP. The word Parmesan is derived from French referring to the original Italian Parmigiano Reggiano. In the European Union the word Parmesan is a food label protected by the law that can be legally used to refer exclusively to the Parmigiano Reggiano DOP cheese manufactured in a limited area in Northern Italy. (See Protected designation of origin.)

In other parts of the world and in everyday language the word Parmesan may also refer to other cheeses that resemble the original Parmigiano Reggiano, such as Grana Padano, a hard, grainy Italian cheese close to Parmigiano Reggiano. Outside Europe, local cheeses are manufactured and sold under the generic name Parmesan in many countries, most notably in the United States.
