The true, authentic cheese from Parma that inspired the word "Parmesan" is Parmigiano-Reggiano, made from pure cow's milk. It can come only from a defined region of northern Italy that includes Parma and Reggio Emilia. Legend has it that Parmigiano was created in the Middle Ages about 200 years after a similar cheese, Grana Padano, was created by 11th century Cistercian monks. Parmigiano was an attempt to copy that cheese, but soon took on its own glory. In 1348, Boccaccio in the Decameron wrote of a fictional "mountain, all of grated Parmesan cheese."
