    Italian vs. American Cheese | Italian Tries American Cheese for the First Time | Blind Taste Test
    In this video, my Italian wife and I conduct a blind taste test between Italian parmigiano cheese and American parmesan cheese... and then I surprise her with a selection of American cheeses! She tries sharp cheddar, pimento spread, grated "6 Cheese Italian," and EZ Cheese spray. You'll be shocked to learn which one was her favorite!

    I am from Parma. Yes, cows in Parma are little angels. But for real, even in Italy, there is a distinction between Parmigiano and Grana Padano. Parmigiano can be made only in a small territory around Parma and Reggio and has specific requirements that you should Google. There is also some sort of action going on as Parmigiano is DOP and Parmesan basically confuses consumers abroad regarding what Parmigiano actually is. It is seen as basically the food version of a counterfeit designer piece of clothing. By the way, I really like your channel.

      @@NVS_Snake I think that potentially they could make good cheese. Think about all the land they have, especially in the mid-west, and the pastures and all of that. But then they go and ruin it all by adding crap in making the cheese. Another important factor I think is that their cheese is often (almost 100% of the time%) not correctly aged and packed in that thick plastic. This gives the cheese a characteristic plastic taste, and also leaves it humid and oily... bleahh!!

      That's true! I find it odd that there's this common idea that for food to be "good" it has to be all natural ingredients and cooked by highly experienced chefs. For me, the best foods is the ones that really makes you go "MMMHM" regardless what it is made out of, and an expensive dinner at a five star restaurant will certainly do that to me, but as well will a burger from a fast food joint, a pan pizza or a really cheap taco with spray cheese on top. Washing it down with Kool-Aid or Coke just makes it better, but I also enjoy trappist beers and fine wines. One does not benefit from being one sided.

      @@hellion9547 I'm with you on the ability to eat whatever has flavors pleasant to me. Comfort food as prepared and sold in the US usually falls somewhere in there. But I don't find it odd that people may have a more 'discerning palate'. If you spend years eating food with no added sugars and you go to the US and try a burger, you'll be able to taste sugar in the bun, toppings and even in the meat. I mean as you land in the US, right at the airport your senses are flooded with the sugary beefy smell of fast food places
      It's unfortunate that the people in the US are fed so much sugar that they don't even realize how much that is. And it's causing them addiction to make them crave more food, also causing them other health problems which they subsequently have to pay thousands of dollars for in order to get treatment which lines the pockets of medical and pharmaceutical industries.

    Outside the EU, the name "Parmesan" can legally be used for similar cheeses, with only the full Italian name unambiguously referring to PDO Parmigiano-Reggiano.

    As to Harper's skepticism than cows in Parma are so different from American cows: I had a conversation with my Italian food expert friend -- a Belgian cellist and musicologist living in Bologna -- in which he told me that it is believed that there is indeed something about the grass on which cows graze in Parma that is different from that of other regions in Italy -- perhaps a question of the bacteria that grow on the grass. He cited Grana Padana as an example of an Italian cheese that was similar to Parmegiano- Reggiano, but "inferior." He also cited "Reggianito," a P-R analogue from Argentina, which he said was not quite PR, but still a good cheese.
