CHEESE Appreciation 101, Lesson 1: Parmesan cheese vs. parmigiano reggiano. The first comes in a tube or bottle, grated or shredded in mass quantities for sprinkling on spaghetti. The second is an exquisite form of aged, artisan cow's-milk cheese produced only in a particular region of northern Italy, under a strict regimen that governs all aspects of the process from cow to cheesemaker.
It's like M&Ms vs. handmade chocolate truffles.
Need more clarification? Lesson 1 continues Sunday at "The Conoisseur's Guide to the King of Cheese: Parmigiano Reggiano," part of the KHPR Wine Classic.
