From my memory of reading Real Food, Fake Food, they don't care about the term "parmesan"--that term has been rendered generic, much like "champagne" in the US.

From my memory of reading Real Food, Fake Food, they don't care about the term "parmesan"--that term has been rendered generic, much like "champagne" in the US. But "Parmigiano Reggiano" is a protected term with a PDO ("protected designation of origin"). That's the one they care about.

- karaterobot 4y agoThanks, this is the answer to my question!
- cycrutchfield 4y agoActually “champagne” in the US is not a generic term: https://www.terroir-france.com/wine-faq/american-champagne.htm https://www.terroir-france.com/wine-faq/american-champagne.h... There are a small handful of producers that are grandfathered in with being able to call it that though.
