BBC - Travel - Italy?s practically perfect foodThen there’s fraud. At the headquarters of the Parmigiano-Reggiano Consortium in the city of Reggio Emilia, president Nicola Bertinelli, whose family has made Parmigiano at their farm since 1895, asked me to take a guess: out of 10 wheels of Parmigiano-Reggiano sold in the world, how many are real?
“One?” I guessed, expecting I’d be too cynical.
“Exactly. One,” he said.
