All Parmesan is Still Made by a Single Family

Parmesan cheese is a fairly pricey hard cheese that is made in a single part of the world. Parmigiano reggiano, to give the cheese its proper name, is a rarity among modern worldwide cheeses as it’s not produced in a factory. Instead, parmigiana reggiano is made by hand by the same family that’s been making it for around nine hundred years, from a recipe that has remained mostly unchanged in all that time.
