Thanks a lot Big Blue. Yes you are right Eataly products are very costly. We found out where we can get 24 months old PR and Grana Padano 24 months old - very good quality and far lesser price. They sell only to selected customers. They also have organic pastas....and more....I have got sample of PR and GP, which better than any of that you get in UAE....

Also Eataly in Dubai Mall has a very good cheese selection including PR, Grana Padano and fresh fior di latte mozzarella and they also sell the proper flour to make pizza dough in case anybody is looking. Very expensive store though...use what you buy wisely:-)

I compared Parm Reg bought from C4 (where I normally buy it) and Organic Foods n Cafe (a one off purchase during their monthly 20% off weekend): the Organic Parm Reg smells more "sheepy" than the C4 one, which is basically cheese-flavored salty, umami goodness, so I use less of it, and with much less enthusiasm!

All PR cheese have the same rind and are made in the same region of Italy but they don't all come from the same source. PR is a legally protected name for the cheese which means it's been made under certain circumstances, using certain ingredients, aged a minimum number of years and made in a very specific region. But there's many producers of the cheese. There's no "bad" PR and the average ones are leagues better than any imitators or the stuff that comes out of Kraft's green containers. But some PR cheeses are definitely better than others, partially because they've been aged longer. A piece of advice passed on to me by an Italian friend: how you grate the cheese also affects the flavor. People tend to grate it finely into a powder or shred it, but to taste the cheese at its best it should be crumbly, sort of like breadcrumbs or ground almonds. The best way to achieve this result is to process it in the food processor till the cheese resembles ground almond. I can't explain the science behind it but the cheese in this form does deliver a much more powerful flavor to the taste buds than the powder/shredded form. I thought it was common knowledge there are a lot of PR imitators out there! Isn't there only one source/factory for PR with distinctive rind packaging? In any case, I will definitely have a look around. Thanks for the replies.

Carrefour sells them in their cheese counter. But you need to double check that the staff haven't mixed it with Grana Padano by accident. Carrefour has the cheapest prices for Reg-Parm and it's perfectly fine, but the ones at Waitrose are better quality.

Seen it in Spinneys, Geant and Waitrose, you should have no difficulty finding some. I thought those were fake? I'll have a look at them, though, thanks. Fake cheese! Sounds like you're in Karama!!!! Definitely can get it in spinneys and Waitrose prepacked and on the cheese counter I used to buy it all the time.
