Don't know if it is fat-finger, malice, trademarks, or pure ignorance... but it's _parmigiano_ ; not parmagiano nor parmiagiano

Just call it parmesan and don’t be an asshole, how about that?

Parmesan is generic. Parmesan : Parmigiano Reggiano = sparkling wine : Champagne.

Same stuff, different sticker price. Thanks Europe.

Parmesan is just French and English for parmigiano, in the EU both names are protected. The generic equivalent would be hard granular/grating cheese.

Yep, but here in the US if you ask a store clerk for parmesan you'll often end up with this, which is not protected other than by the plastic bottle it comes in: https://kraftnaturalcheese.com/product/grated-cheese/parmesa...

It would ne reaaally weird to me to call it parmesan... I'm italian.

And fuck you, asshole, and don't tell me what I can do.
