Parmesan Cheese

From Recipes Wiki, the recipe book anyone can contribute to!

A hard, thick-crusted Italian cow's milk cheese, has a sharp, salty, full flavor resulting from up to 2 years of aging. It takes its name from the city of Parma, though it originated midway between that city and Reggio, where the finest Italian variety, Parmigiano-Reggiano(r), is produced. Buy in block form, to grate fresh as needed.
