Hang on a minute, Parmesan's a brand? Not just a name of dry Italian cheese?

Parmigiano Reggiano is a protected name like champagne is. To have the name it has to be produced with traditional methods and sourced from the traditional region, all of which is legally defined. They charge a premium for this, and some of it becomes quite expensive.
