Dry, aged, and slightly salty—yet also buttery and nutty. Italian Parmigiano-Reggiano is still handmade exactly as it was 700 years ago, with apprentices studying the craft for a decade before making their first wheel.

There are many imitators that call themselves Parmesan, but the real one is easily spotted by its name etched into the rind of every 75 lb. wheel.
