"Mild but complex," this cheese was a little "soft and creamy for a Parmesan," with a "too moist" texture. Grated, it had a "nice and tangy" aroma and "lovely, delicate flavor." In polenta, it was "nutty, well balanced, very good."

A dud!, April 28, 2009
This review is from: Belgioioso Parmesan - 8 oz (Misc.)
This product isn't parmesan cheese. It lacks the distinctive seal of this cheese which must conform to a severe set of rules. A European court has prohibited the use of the term parmesan for all cheeses not produced according to the parmesan consortium specifications.
