Working at an Italian restaurant I had the good fortune of being able to taste real Parmesan right after the wheel was cracked. The memory of the flavor still give me goosebumps (we also had real truffle honey and a 10 year aged balsamic to go along with, 10/10 would recommend)

There is a very specific way that the cheese wheel is to be cut too so it's even more satisfying EDIT: If you wish to see the specific method, look here th-cam.com/video/m3ZI15VjwEU/w-d-xo.html
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.
@@leo86channel Con tutto il rispetto, ma non vuol dire nulla. Le lingue sono piene di diminutivi, modi di dire, magari diffusi anche solo in piccole comunitá.

Some are real, with the certificate, Parmigiano reggiano. So there are some that comes in plastic bags or in small 200grams pieces. ;) We have it in spain. Love it.
One of my all time favorite type of cheese. I had some tonight on my salad. I love the extra kick in the flavor. My grandfather made cheese and he always wanted to visit Italy to try their cheese in their country and I hate he never got to do it. Every time I eat cheese I can't help but to think of him.
Why is TH-cam keep recommending me videos about parmesan? I only watched ONE video about parmesan out of pure curiosity Now it's 3 am, I have to go to work in 3 hours and I'm addicted to videos about parmesan. I know more about parmesan than I know my own family I ain't even mad, goddamn!
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.
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).
This is why I absolutely love Italian cuisine. Such a focus on quality and the freshness behind all of the dishes so nicely put together. It really make me a difference and you enjoy it and appreciate it that much more. Bellissimo! Assolutamente bellissimo
Haha. You're hilarious. She meant that there are no more processes applied to the cheese, rather than just sit there for 1 year. But well spotted anyways. **touches another cheese wheel**
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.

Grab them by the neck and toss them into a pit, letting them burn in a fire fueled by said counterfeit cheese wheels. Then proceed to make cheese out of them and sell that human cheese for profit. 🤷♀️☺️🥰😜
bro i feel like everything that is 'authentic italian' is made in like a small 3 acre farm, that has the perfect weather, and the animals are like the made of golden, and the soil is volcanic.
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.
yeah. Italian is totally possible anywhere there is volcanic soil and a mediterranean climate. NM has similar properties (just not a lot of water, which is supplemented with irrigation). We have a lot of rosemary and oregano herbs growing , and a lot of italian trees (cypruss, olive tress, etc) grow well here.
noice party with the lawyer the doctor but the cheese master is just the best party in day world. and if you get a notification on your devise because I replied you will probably think did I really watch that.?!
These numbers cannot be right. so you're saying they use 1,782 BILLION liters of milk each year. If you were using every single dairy in the world that is certified. A dairy would have to milk 14839 liters of milk a day
+What?. To meet those figures only require around 500 cows, so I don't see it being a problem in that part of Italy. They have more than 2 million dairy cows in the country.
Hi, i'm Italian and in Italy one Kg of Parmigiano Reggiano (24 months old) it cost about 16 Euro, so for one wheel of 40 kg of Parmigiano you need to pay about 640 Euro (included taxes). So if you will buy an entire wheel probably you will receive a little discount, especially if you will buy it in a small shop. If you buy over the Italy borders this prices will grow till 50-60% and more....i don't know why...but it's too much. Moreover the Parmigiano Reggiano is also produced in Lombardia a region near Emilia Romagna, in this region there is a lot of producer (almost 20) that is located arond the city of Mantova.

@@alberthernandez2625 A possible scenario, among countless other likely possibilities: The intestines of baby grazing animals held their mother's milk.

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?

And that's where my story ends... But how did I get here well, we'll just have to go right to the very start, my parents fished me out of a vat and said "here is your jam, he will keep You safe, and here's your human corpse" I don't remember the last part...

"Hey pssst, what you looking for? Women or drugs?" "Neither. You got some of that cheese?" "Wait what? You want counterfeit money?" "No. You have some of that _Parmesan Cheese_ ?"

kill them all
Sell it to someone else as stupid and make profit
Grab them by the neck and toss them into a pit, letting them burn in a fire fueled by said counterfeit cheese wheels. Then proceed to make cheese out of them and sell that human cheese for profit. 🤷♀️☺️🥰😜

Italian is such a beautifully sounding language. When spoken, its so lyrical and pleasing to listen to.
bro i feel like everything that is 'authentic italian' is made in like a small 3 acre farm, that has the perfect weather, and the animals are like the made of golden, and the soil is volcanic.
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.
yeah. Italian is totally possible anywhere there is volcanic soil and a mediterranean climate. NM has similar properties (just not a lot of water, which is supplemented with irrigation). We have a lot of rosemary and oregano herbs growing , and a lot of italian trees (cypruss, olive tress, etc) grow well here.
it is

It aint easy being cheesy
It ain't easy being cheesy either.
where the vids at
These numbers cannot be right.
so you're saying they use 1,782 BILLION liters of milk each year.
If you were using every single dairy in the world that is certified. A dairy would have to milk 14839 liters of milk a day
But it IS easy being a jaywalker
+What?. To meet those figures only require around 500 cows, so I don't see it being a problem in that part of Italy. They have more than 2 million dairy cows in the country.
It's 2am, I have to work in the morning ... And I can't stop watching cheese videos.

@@marianoamaya3351 sadly yes
Hi, i'm Italian and in Italy one Kg of Parmigiano Reggiano (24 months old) it cost about 16 Euro, so for one wheel of 40 kg of Parmigiano you need to pay about 640 Euro (included taxes). So if you will buy an entire wheel probably you will receive a little discount, especially if you will buy it in a small shop. If you buy over the Italy borders this prices will grow till 50-60% and more....i don't know why...but it's too much.
Moreover the Parmigiano Reggiano is also produced in Lombardia a region near Emilia Romagna, in this region there is a lot of producer (almost 20) that is located arond the city of Mantova.
è grana, non parmigiano
@@killthe80rocker44 A cosa ti riferisci dicendo che è Grana e non Parmigiano?
@@matrix-wr7wj che è grana padano e non parmigiano reggiano
@@killthe80rocker44 Quello nel video è Parmigiano Reggiano e anche quello di cui parlo io è Parmigiano Reggiano non capisco a cosa ti riferisci, nessuno a parlato di Grana Padano. Ma lo hai guardato il video?

All of this for Costco to give those packets to never be used
lol
Yep Costco is a great company!
@Lupa bruh ikr lmao
That is a different product
Horizon on top!
I work at whole foods, and yeah this cheese is very expensive, but I always wondered WHY it was so expensive. Now I know.
When a cheese wheel costs more than your rent
Yeah but normally you don't buy the whole wheel. Instead you buy a smaller portion because that's all you need.
@@michac.8283 pfff light weight all do a wheel in a hour 2 tops
You live in a shed
pay rent with cheese
GO LAKERS!
it's amazing how just milk can become thousand of types of cheese
I wonder who was the first person to make cheese like HOW 😂 did that man one day leave milk outside came back and saw it turn into a cheese curd and said oooh look it's cheese or how it happend 🤔 cause I don't think they knew about bacterias or the entire fermintatiom process
@@alberthernandez2625 A possible scenario, among countless other likely possibilities: The intestines of baby grazing animals held their mother's milk. Hunter gatherers used their intestines as containers. Days/weeks of walking/joustling inside a warm skin and bingo, cheese. Cheese making goes back many millennia and no doubt had many different discoveries, leftover milk etc over time.
@@carlosandleon What the hell?
Its the bacteria that makes different cheese

The title should mention "Parmigiano Reggiano", NOT Parmesan, since it is clearly stated in the video that "Parmesan" is a FAKE.
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?
@@niccolofarina3773 "Parmigiano Reggiano is the name of the product"
...That's what I said...
"You cannot sell a different product because it is protected"
Uhm, that's also what I said...
Also, that last stuff you said just made me confused, what did you mean? Are you agreeing or disagreeing with me? I'm very confused ●_●

I love the idea of the “Black Market of Cheese”
And that's where my story ends... But how did I get here well, we'll just have to go right to the very start, my parents fished me out of a vat and said "here is your jam, he will keep You safe, and here's your human corpse" I don't remember the last part... But it sounded very important, then the truck drove off, to my right some other kid had the same idea as me and tried to turn me back round, but what's this? A future of fortune and appreciation and he just had to come over he to steal it from me.
@@cheesejam1373 So close.
@@txarguy8750 ik
Wait till you hear about the olive oil.
It's not a black market the Jedi would tell you about.
If the parmesan isn't made in northern Italy then it's just "sparkling cheddar"
As an north-italian i can assure your theory is right
Yeah try to search www.isaporidellevaccherosse.com and youll see what real parmesan is😁
I feel like not enough people got the champagne reference.. underrated comment right here 😂
I appreciate this comment
So is the entire effort to ban the black market just anti free market or anti copyright.

When I was little a bunch of kids on our block used to get together and role play little nations we made. And one little nation was ruled by a kid who called himself the "Cheese Master." Many years later im minding my own business watching some random vid recommended to me and I hear "Cheese Master," next thing I know I'm spewing coffee all over my important books.
I don't think any of us knew that "Cheese Master" was a godforsaken real thing.

Next thing they knew The Cheese Master was tearing open those little packets of Parmesan cheese you get at a pizza place and flinging 'em at us. And did I mention he was wearing a suit of armor made entirely of pizza boxes?
Nothing we did was working and we had to call off our attack. Gosh that was something, explaining to my mom why I had a bunch of ground up Parmesan cheese in my hair.

“There’s also bad bacteria”
Proceeds to show a smiling, greeting red bacteria
The bacteria part in general was badly made. It turned into a kids-show for a minute.
And the good bacteria are heat resistant. Damn, am lik whatt?
yeah the entire bacteria claim from hay through cow to milk, then good somehow surviving the heat that kills bad, that's all bs. I'm sure there's beneficial bacteria in the ageing but why make up lies that are so obvious to anyone moderately educated?
@@lacyfins9627 they want to sell the idea that you can't make your own and the only option you have is to buy it from them
@Impaleification temps and such aside, must remember the fresh milks original purpose to feed a calf, milk is sterile, any bacteria is introduced after exiting the mammary duct during milking and has nothing to do with the processes beforehand other than potential flavors imparted according to the cows diet which would still be near indiscernable to most human pallets.

@@MashZ ah man. If someone else tries to make it, they'll be sued? It just seems stupid. But money makes the world go round I guess..
@@dataexpunged6969 they wont be sued for just making it. But theyll be sued for using the name "Parmesan" . The name is patented. And without the name nobody would be able to sell it at a profit without compromising on quality a bit
Same thing happens for champagne. People have to sell it as "sparkling wine". Only some businesses from France are allowed to call theirs "champagne"
@@MashZ It's to protect from cheap knock-offs that would use the name and thus lower its standing and reputation, and also because it has historic and cultural ties to that region in Italy. People should respect that.
There used to be a restaurant/deli in Seattle that sold the real thing and they would cut it off the wheel for me. I became hooked on it and literally ate it alone, maybe with bread as a chaser. It was so damn good, a little nutty taste as they say in the video. I’ve literally been on a quest to find the real thing again ever since!

@Aloha Akahai i buy it from my local grocery store they got a little stand with cheese even a whole wheel of cheese it looks so cool, now that i eaten parmesan reggiano i never stopped buying it, my mom gets mad because i spent $15 on a cut of cheese but even then has way more flavor. I gave my kraft cheese to my neighbor lol
Woah, usually stuff is cheaper in the USA than in my country, but this time, it was different.
Parmesan cheese is cheap in my country, it's commonly used for lasagna or your arevage pasta, whether it is from a restaurant or homemade.
