No, despite your trip to Wikipedia you don't know what you're talking about, Grana Padano Is another brand, the kind of cheese is called Grana, Grana Padano just (imho illegally) protected an existing name. In Italy when you ask for Grana you are asking for either Grana or Parmigiano, but if you ask for Parmigiano then it's only that.

That's got zero to do with Parmigiano. Trentingrana for example is Grana Padano produced outside of the latter's regulations, just like you are demanding, well they just used a different name.

I don't know how I could be more clear, the name of the type of cheese is GRANA! Just like a Wiener sausage is a type of sausage, you can't call your sausage "Original Austrian Sausage from Wien" because it's a fucking lie! The same goes for Parmigiano!

No, you can't make Parmigiano Reggiano outside of the area of, drum roll, Parma or Reggio (with a few convenient exception)! I mean it's not hard to understand that if it's got the location in the name, then the location is part of the product! If you change the product, then it may be as good as you want, even better, but it's not the same product, so you have to use a different name, that's all!
Especially since, unlike for example Champagne, Parmigiano Reggiano is, again, a fucking brand name, you can't brand watches as Rolex without Rolex coming to tear you a new one!

You can make Grana wherever you want! Go Grana your heart out! But I used to work in the dairy industry, and let me tell you, location makes A LOT of difference, there are a shitload of Italians in the US for example, but they have a lot of difficulties replicating what they used to make in Italy, there's got to be a reason, right?

It's a brand name, they can do whatever they want with it. Would you be up in arms if coca-cola decided to produce only in a specific area? Because that's kinda what they did with the sludge.

And yes, for some things the area matters, the soil, the weather, etc. Again, it acts as a, albeit minimal, guarantee for the customer, that's why it exists

The Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium establishes the rules for production and enforces them. Nobody's stopping you from making your own Parmigiano wherever you want, you just can't call it that, because the name acts as a quality guarantee for the consumer.

Otherwise you'd have a situation like buying crap on Amazon where you never know if you're going to receive a functioning gadget or not.
