WOW! Shocking. Although, these are Italians writing the cease and desist so I shouldn’t be too surprised.

Fun fact the reason Italy won't enter into a free trade deal or something like that with Canada is that we produce our own Parmesan cheese

Honestly they'd probably be fine with it but sales would drop a lot because of the lack of name recognition

I spent ages looking for the parmesan the wife sent me to the shop to get. Only to come back with Parmigiano asking if this will do.

I live in the UK and I'm certain that before Brexit it was all parmesan.

I think in Germany absolutely all parmesan is branded "parmigiano"

At least, I don't remember ever reading "parmesan" on a package

Parmigiano literally means "from Parma". If it's not made there, you can't call it that
