BastingChemina ( @BastingChemina@slrpnk.net ) 37•7 months agoThe designation “Parmigiano Reggiano” is a protected designation of origin (PDO) in the European Union.
It means that to be able to call a cheese “Parmigiano Reggiano” a producer needs to follow a strict set of rules on how to produce the cheese, how to mature it, how the cows are being fed and it has to be manufactured in a specific area in Italy.
So if someone is making cheese without following the rules and sell it as Parmigiano it would be counterfeit cheese. Just like someone selling lemonade but calling it “Sprite”.

In Australia, we actually do use “lemonade” to refer to drinks like Sprite, lol. We don’t really have the American-style non-carbonated lemonade.
Gyoza Power ( @GyozaPower@discuss.tchncs.de ) 5•7 months agoYou got it backwards. He meant that it’s the same as selling lemonade while trying to pass it as Sprite because of the branding.
PraiseTheSoup ( @PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee ) 14•7 months agoIt’s because the use of the name parmigiano reggiano requires that the cheese come from a certain region of Italy (or somewhere in Europe). There’s nothing else special about it. Counterfeit cheese in this case is just the same exact cheese but made elsewhere and likely sold for cheaper.

Akisamb ( @Akisamb@programming.dev ) 5•7 months agoThat’s not exactly true. If you make parmigiano you have to follow pretty strict manufacturing procedures to ensure that the cheeses have the same taste.
It’s pretty much the same thing as a brand except it’s not produced by one structure but several independent structures. The main advantage is that you know what you are getting.
Knightfox ( @Knightfox@lemmy.one ) English1•7 months agoIn this case you may be right, but region protected products can be quite ridiculous. For example Bourbon:
- Produced in the U.S. and its Territories (Puerto Rico), as well as the District of Columbia
- Made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn
- Aged in new, charred oak containers
- Distilled to no more than 160 (U.S.) proof (80% alcohol by volume)
- Entered into the container for aging at no more than 125 proof (62.5% alcohol by volume)
- Bottled (like other whiskeys) at 80 proof or more (40% alcohol by volume)
(Source Wikipedia)
That’s pretty fucking generic except for the made in USA portion. If I’m not mistaken Champagne has similarly silly restrictions with no significant difference.
