  • A wheel of parmesan cheese can cost over $1,000. A single wheel takes at least one year to age, 131 gallons of milk to make, and it can only be made in a restricted area in northern Italy, in the region of Emilia Romagna. We visited a dairy in Parma, Italy to find out how the cheese is made and why it is so expensive.

    I grew up in Italy as a teenager. My Mom would go down to the open market to buy Parma. I think she paid $4.50 For a kilo. As a hungry teen, this along with the local bakery bread was all I needed. The taste of Parma is nothing like the imposters. Prices are higher, but the quality of the cheese has never declined. As a cook, there is no substitute.

    What I'll take away from this video is that I really have to be glad to live so close to Italy, being able to buy 24 month old parmigiano reggiano in every supermarket here. Reading about the "parmesan" in America shocked me, I really feel for you guys.

    • @joseph1150
      @joseph1150 Год назад +22

      If you want actual Parmigiano Reggiano you can easily have it. It's in every grocery store worth a damn. Plain old American Parmesan is good enough for most people's cooking anyways.
      Also there is a company that makes a high quality Parmesan that replicates the Parmigiano Reggiano techniques and it's very good. You have to be an expert cheese snob to tell the difference.
      The regional designation is to just protect the reputation of the product. Many of the "counterfeits" are just as good as the real thing (though most are not). It's similar to the protection given to Cognac and Champaign. Other areas actually can produce a similar or better product, but the naming laws are to protect the historical regions (and honestly is often just patronage and rent seeking).

    I ONLY ever buy Parmesan Reggiano when I want a hard 'Italian style' cheese, I'm happy paying for top quality. For many years I just used to use Parmesan as a topping on pizza, or pasta dishes, but I've recently discovered that it's really lovely on it's own as part of a 'cheese board', as long as it's not dried out and gone crispy as it can quite easily do if not used all that often.

      The prices they tell are actually pretty cheap.
      Here in Germany it is impossible to get 2-3 year old Parmesan from this specific region for 15€/lb(we would say 30€/Kilo. Pounds are not used for measuring over here)
      You’ll have to at least pay 45-60€/kg.
      But even at that price it is absolutely worth it!
      Go get some Pecorino Romano too and mix those two cheeses.
      Now you just have to get a nice piece of Guanciale (bacon made from pigs cheeks, but air dried, not smoked. It’s so much better than standard bacon or even Pancetta -which are both from the pigs belly- for carbonara) and an egg.
      Now you can make the best spaghetti carbonara on this planet.
      It’s so damn simple you just have to make sure it doesn’t overheat.
      The mixture between Parmesan and Pecorino is so much better than the „traditional“ version with Pecorino alone.

    No way you can compare it to cheddar. The difference is like comparing supermarket wines to wines from France. Once you try a bite of Parmesan cheese you will never forget. (I’m not talking about powder or flakes). The texture, the taste and the aftertaste are so good.

      Its because of italy is keeping and caring about their traditions, you can be sure that these traditional ways of making delicious food were given in your own country as well once a time. There is a specific joghurt in my hometown (turkey) but the tradition is dying and there is only one farmer left producing this joghurt. If he dies, the tradition will die as well. There have been few people who tried to master it and modernize it but it didnt work and producing it the old and traditional way is not profitable these days. Thats the case around the whole world, not only in turkey. To complete your comment, italy is not special regarding its traditions or food, they just seem to care about it and made it profitable around the globe thanks to good marketing.

    The title should mention "Parmigiano Reggiano", NOT Parmesan, since it is clearly stated in the video that "Parmesan" is a FAKE.

    • @AomiChron
      @AomiChron 3 года назад +94

      Not really
      "Parmigiano Reggiano" is a protected name, but the term "parmesan" is just another name for a type of cheese, and a term cannot be trademarked
      Also, the reviewer can't freely use the name "Parmigiano Reggiano" because of the trademark.
      Lastly, no one outside of Italy (except some fancy/fanatic cheese people) really knows "Parmigiano Reggiano"

      Omicron Reaper no ... Parmigiano Reggiano is the name of the product ... you cannot sell a different product with that name because it is protected, but if we are talking about Parmigiano Reggiano, why do you have to use the "translated" name or parmesan?
