Frequently Asked Questions:

What is Parmesan cheese?

Parmesan cheese is a traditional Italian-style Parmesan that comes in a block, so that you may cube, shave or grate it as needed. Parmesan cheese is the domestic (or American) version of the Italian Parmigiano-Reggiano. Parmigiano-Reggiano is a popular Italian cheese known as the “King of Cheeses.” It is a hard, pale yellow cheese made from skimmed cow’s milk. It is best known for topping off pastas, soups and salads and featuring on cheese boards and charcuterie spreads.

What is the difference between Parmesan and Parmigiano-Reggiano?

The biggest differences between Parmesan and Parmigiano-Reggiano are where they are made and the standards of production. Parmigiano-Reggiano is a highly regulated cheese from Italy. For a cheese to be called Parmigiano-Reggiano, it must follow certain standards, such as where it is made, how long it is aged and what ingredients are used. On the other hand, Parmesan is made in the U.S. with a similar style to Parmigiano-Reggiano, but without all the strict rules. It is similar in flavor and texture.

What is the difference between Parmesan and Asiago?

While both Parmesan and Asiago cheeses are popular Italian cow’s milk cheeses, they differ in many ways. Parmesan cheese is a hard Italian-style cheese with a nutty complex flavor and a hard, granular texture due to its aging process. Aged for a minimum of 12 months, Parmesan is much more developed than most Asiago varieties. Asiago comes in many varieties starting with a young version that is aged for just 2 months. Typically Asiago cheese is soft and milkier with more subtle flavors.

What is the difference between Parmesan and Romano?

Parmesan and Romano cheeses are both aged Italian cheeses with a hard, granular texture making them great for grating. Parmesan is made with cow’s milk cheese and Romano (or Pecorino Romano) is made with sheep’s milk. While their pale color and hard texture are similar, the two have very different flavor profiles. Romano can be described as sharp, nearly piquant, and peppery. Parmesan is nutty and slightly fruity. Both are complex, full-flavored cheeses that are aged to develop their best characteristics.

What cheese is closest to Parmesan?

Pecorino Romano is a sheep’s milk cheese, but it is the most similar cheese in flavor and texture to Parmesan. Both Parmesan and Romano are hard, aged Italian cheeses with a sharp flavor profile, a pale color and a hard, granular texture that is perfect for grating.
