Parmigiano Reggiano is one of my favourite cheeses. It is an Italian cheese, and the real Parmegiano Reggiano is only the one produced in a specific area of Italy, within the provinces of Bologna, Parma and Reggio Emilia.

A bit like Feta, there is no point in having these cheeses ...  Read the complete review

Parmigiano is described here in Italy as the most complete food for humans aside from mother's milk. However perhaps it may surprise some to learn that it is so highly regarded that we actually use it as one of the first weaning foods for babies. I was certainly a little intrigued when my paediatrician gave me baby food recipes for my then 4 month ...  Read the complete review

I like cheese very much. Although modern theories of alimentation state that too much cheese is not good, as a matter of fact I eat cheese at home at least 4-5 evenings per week. I eat cheese with a good bottle of red wine, unfortunately to find good bread in UK is not that easy! Parmesan cheese is the only cheese I eat away ...  Read the complete review

There is only one cheese in the whole world that I eat and ever have done, and, surprise surprise, it’s parmesan (hence the star rating). I was thinking this as I ever so cleverly grated my fingernails instead of the cheese itself the other day while cooking tea (damn you Tesco, for withdrawing the pre-grated stuff from sale at my local ...  Read the complete review

I had never been a fan of parmesan cheese, having only sampled it dried from plastic containers. And frankly its smell reminded me of baby sick - and how can you eat and enjoy something like that?? Then a trip to Rome in March changed my opinion forever, working for a national newspaper I sold some ad space to the Parmigiano Reggiano ...  Read the complete review

The one ...  Read the complete review
