Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
We had Parmigiano Reggiano we had brought back from Italy. We did a side-by-side taste comparison. My husband didn't know which was which, but picked the one from i-gourmet as his preference. That says a LOT. We bring suitcases full of cheese from Italy, but now we'll just order from this site. MUCH easier, and just as good - or better.
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
Having enjoyed for years parmigiano in Italy, I was reticent to buy anything in the US, I thought it could not match what you get in country. I was wrong, this is the real thing. There is nothing more gratifying than a morsel of fresh parmigiano cut right off the block...
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
This cheese is deliscious!
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
This cheese is definitely worth buying on line - At least in these parts, there is nothing comparable available in the local markets. The only pans I have are "soft" but important: Not locally made (or even US made), and not organic. I would have purchased the organic version, but it was N/A.
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
While I do grate this cheese fresh over pasta the way to enjoy it the most is chunks broken off and savored with some crusty bread and a glass of pinot noir.
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
Grate it over fresh pasta or by itself it's great.
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
We are pasta eaters at my house. This cheese is perfect for us!

We ordered the "parm" on sale...a great price. The cheese is of the highest quality...[...]

A house without "parm" is not a home!
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
I use it in grated in salads and shaved in Hord d'ouvre.
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
This is totally unlike the grated cheese in the "green" container - a whole new perspective on spaghetti cheese. Also great in salads or with fruit.
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
Always for any pasta dish, shaved in salad, especially with shaved asparagus with olive oil and balsamic.

Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
can use on just about everything except breakfast cereal
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
Well worth the money, especially since it's so firm that it'll last for many weeks in a cold fridge.
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
We normally buy this cheese for shredding over pasta... but it's also good in salads or just eating straight up.

Parmigiano Reggiano , we never buy the supermarket brands any more!
from Lake City, FL on 4/25/2010
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
I use it in salads, pasta dinners, bruschettas, on burgers, toast, vegetables (excellent with lemon juice and cheese on Broccoli) whatever.
The Parmagiano Reggiano I purchased was made in Parma, at several factories. When I was in Parma, I followed the making of the cheese from the beginning with organic milk to the forming, stacking and aging up to 2 years. I keep all the supermarket "paramazan" off my shelves. The real stuff is the best and Thank you, I Gormet for bring me a taste of Northern Italy.

good chunked with a good wine or on what ever you put it on
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
This is the real parmiggiano reggiano you buy in Italy. It's expensive but there is no substitute. We put it grated on pastas and salads, or we eat it in small pieces with fruits (pears are best)
from Mountain West on 3/7/2010
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
This is one of my favorite cheeses. The cheese is firm and rich. I eat this cheese plain, with pears, melted over spaghetti, and it is absolute heaven when lightly drizzled with aged balsamic vinegar.
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
We always have this cheese on hand for shredding over salads and pasta. It is so much better than anything we can get at our local grocery store.
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
This cheese is perfect for all of the Italian dishes I make: sprinkle on pizza, minestroni soup and add to stuffing for mushrooms, salads, between layers in lasagna.

Great on Italian food.
from Woodward, OK on 2/15/2010
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
We use this parm cheese for pretty much everything. We use it on bread, pasta, rice, snacks, by itself. It has a very wonderful nutty flavor that goes with almost anything. I grate it over salad, veggies and main dishes. Really great cheese.
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
I got tired of spending good money on inferior parmigiano. I tried this cheese about a year ago and now I won't purchase anything else. I saw that it was rated highly by Cook's Illustrated recently and I totally agree.
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:

Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:

Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
We frequently order this cheese and this is the first time we were disappointed. It could be because by the time we got it the cool pack wasn't cool any more, but instead of sharp and crumbly the cheese was chewy and rather bland tasting. Very disappointing [...]
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
I bought this cheese and it is fablioso! Truly perfecto in the sense of non rejecto! I like my cheese a bit stinky and reggianno makes my eyes blinky! PA PA PA PA PARMIGIANNO RE RE RE RE RE REGGIANNO!!!!!!!!

Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
Once we learned about "real" Parmigiano Reggiano while living in Sicily we were hooked! No comparison to the "green box".
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
I never let our supply run out. We use it almost every day in some way. No substitute can take it's place.
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
Besides being a perfect grating cheese, this Reggiano has the soft, yet firm flavorful texture to be enjoyed anytime on its own merit. I've tried them all and this one's the best.
from Palm Springs, Ca. on 6/4/2009
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
I don't know enough about parmaggiano to tell if this a great example of this variety of cheese. I do know that it works great for me. It even had less rind that had to be discarded. Yes, I get upset if I have to throw away a large chunk of the wedge I bought.
Overall, I can't find any faults in this cheese.
from Melbourne, Florida on 5/13/2009
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
Having lived in Bologna, Italy this is the only Parmigiano I will eat! This is the BEST and only real Parmigiano. Anything else is imitation. And they do serve it grated on pasta in Italy as well. It would ruin the dish to serve anything less. However, never put this or any other cheese on a shellfish dish, that is a big no-no!! As is cappuccino after dinner, but that is another discussion for another time.

from Manhattan, New York on 5/9/2009
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
This is a spectacular cheese; the only drawback is the price, even when on SALE IT IS COSTLY. I prefer it to my little italian market, but the market price is almost $2.00 less. I know igourmet is expensive, but now I am addicted to this cheese, that is how fabulous it is. My poor little italian market. Oh well. Too bad, so sad. A great cheese is a great cheese.

from Lake Forest, CA on 5/8/2009
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
This fantastic cheese is GREAT served 'as is' for snacking or thinly sliced or grated/shredded for use with pasta dishes. Also great grated over salads. Very rich and nutty tasting; just can't beat the REAL THING! And at less than $10 per pound the "Price Was Right".

Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
the usable portion was better than expected. however that portion consisted of only about 60% of the 2#'s purchased.
i have been more than pleased with every product i have purchased and this product was wonderful in flavor and texture,...but ... ,! thank you for the opportunity to offer my comment skip
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
Of the three pounds ordered, two were the correct weight. The price was right, however, there's too much rind, which really can't be used (though it does add to the weight). Unless it's on sale, it's not a good buy. It is fresher, but at [...] I can get more useable product (less rind).
from El Reno, OK on 5/7/2009
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
Not only is the real parmigiano-reggiano far more complex and delicious than anything simply called "parmesan," it's actually lower in sodium as well, which is important to some of us. This cheese has about a third of the sodium of domestic imitators that are neither made as carefully nor aged as long. Save the rinds and use them in soup, risotto, or any long-simmering dish that could benefit from the subtle nuttiness and creamy complexity of this award-winning cheese.
If you have a vacuum-seal food keeper unit at home, reseal the cheese in a vacuum bag after each use and keep it in the fridge and it will virtually last forever, so it can be economical as well.
I just wish that iGourmet would also ship us some scraps with it when we buy. They must get close to a pound of crumbly breakage when cutting up an 80 pound form, and while it wouldn't stay fresh nearly as long (even if vacuum sealed after each use), but would provide an instant way to taste and use some of it without cutting into your pound cut.
And yes, I grate it for use in just about every recipe that calls for parmigiano-reggiano; it tastes better and it saves sodium and what's not to love about that? Occasionally, when the day's dietary requirements allow it, I'll eat some thin slivers of it on hearty crackers. Simple pleasures are still the best.
from Las Vegas on 5/7/2009
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
I prefer to use it where the Parm is the star. I like to make long curls and place them on a small ceasar salad. Just by itself or with a ripe bosc pear. Yum!

An excellent cheese for pasta and salads and as an after dinner snack
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
This is a bargain! Keeps for ages - just gets better. I've only used for grating or big curls on top of bread, pasta, salads, etc. For the price it cannot be beat. Try it in white bean/chicken/rosemary soup. Also in fish chowder, yumm!
Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
An excellent tasting cheese and a good representative of it's kind. For grating it is perfect. For eating and garnishing it is a little under aged.
from Col Falls MT on 9/22/2008

Grated over just about anything,salata or pasta dishes and soups. Chuncked and eaten by itself.

Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
I have ordered this cheese for several years and given it as a gift. It is the only Parmesan that I will buy due to its terrific flavor and texture. It beats any supermarket parmesan by a wide margin and you won't even look at that 'green can' again. I was hooked the first time I tasted it. Now I know why Italians eat it as a snack!

Comments about Parmigiano Reggiano - Pound Cut:
I use to buy this kind of cheeze from an old Italian store here in New Jersey. They've since passed on. Couldn't find it anywhere till now.
If you're looking for great Parmigiano, get this one. I use it when I make meatballs for my italian gravy, in sauces and of course pasta!
Enjoy
