Parmiggiano (Reggiano meaning it comes from one of a select few regions in Italy, the highest quality Parmiggiano), or Parmesan as it is commonly known, one of the most popular and famour cheeses from Italy. The cheese, made from raw cow's milk, is often shaved or grated onto pasta or countless other dishes, stirred into risottos and soups, or eaten as is. There probably isn't a household in Italy that doesn't have some form of this cheese always at hand. This one is aged 24 months, a hunk taken a few minutes earlier from one of the typical large cheese rounds stamped with Parmiggian Reggiano on the rind.
