Ok, so why does the region matter, iff you follow the same method and live up to the same quality standards?

- yreg 4y agoIt's up to the buyers to say whether it matters and they say it does.
- rocqua 4y agoThe buyers did not decide to give this regional trade-mark. That was some government somewhere. The buyers tend to follow that. And perhaps the buyers only value the "stringent quality check" of the mark, and do not care for the "region check" but they have no alternatives.
- yreg 4y ago>perhaps the buyers only value the "stringent quality check" of the mark, and do not care for the "region check" This goes hand in hand since the Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium has no interest in verifying quality of cheese from other regions. The cheese producers located elsewhere are free to found their own consortium for quality checking, build up its reputation and convince customers to value it the same as parmigiano reggiano.
- morelisp 4y ago> iff you follow the same method Good luck competing in any economical sense if you're importing cows from Parma to give them uncontaminated feed from Parma then aging the cheese in an artificial climate like Parma's. Corners are invariably cut. Do they matter? Maybe, maybe not. But why do you need to name your cheese after a region it's not from? Grana padano's done fine for itself, for example.
