Parmigiano Reggiano is a name-protected product. This means it must be produced in a specific way in a certain region of Northern Italy with raw milk from cows who live in a specific area.

Look for the PDO and Parmigiano Reggiano label, and the dotted rind to make sure you are getting the real deal!
