I wonder how close they are to realm parmesan, those counterfeited cheeses.

Parmigiano Reggiano is truly something special.

There exist (cheaper) cheeses made in a similar style, but no serious manufacturer will call it Parmigiano Reggiano, or even Parmesan. Usually have their own brand.

Or you can make your own https://youtu.be/s1k1w7SnNEY

So to combat fake cheese, real cheese makers change their cheese and make them crunchier? 🤔
