Parmesan Cheese?

Parmigiano (the real name for parmesan cheese) is made from cow's milk in the area around Parma, Italy - rather as roast beef is made from cattle meat. A vegetarian "version" of it would be called something else. It might come as a surprise to discover that in Italy, people eat mostly vegetables - hence the longer life expectancy that Italians enjoy, compared to the life span of the average pie-'n-chips eating Englishman.

I saw something nasty in the woodshed!
I use it as a flavour-enhancer. Just grate a little into whatever your are cooking.
It is the food with the highest natural occurrence of monosodium glutamate (don't know which part of the term determines the non-natural bit).

I'm aware that parmesan,like most cheese,is made from cow's milk. Vegetarians can eat dairy products. It's the rennet,not the cow's milk,that makes it unsuitable for vegetarians.

No. The name 'parmesan' is protected under European law, it can only be made in a certain region of Italy to a certain recipe and they don't make veggie versions. You may be able to get a veggie version of something called Italian style hard grating cheese or whatever, but not parmesan.
i like parmesan sprinkled on my pizza along with red pepper seeds
i know, i'm not too fussed about it being authentic (the "preferably the ready-grated stuff in a tub cos i'm a lazy bastard" in my OP tells you everything you need to know about my diet), just some type of generic hard cheese i can throw on pasta will do me. Can't find the twineham grange stuff,anyone know where they sell it?
Perhaps, Rosa, now that we have established that you don't want to eat parmigiano, you can look around for a hard product made of vegetable fats to tip over your fast food...just be wary of hydrogenated fats, eh?

Waitrose sell it and occasionally Sainsbury's I think. Check your local veggie shop or you may be able to get it online
Nardini, parmigiano is not vegetarian because animal rennet (obtained from calves' stomach linings from the veal trade) is used to to seperate the curds and whey.
You seem to be implying that Rosa is looking for a 'milk free' parmigiano, when she is looking for a similar cheese without the animal rennet... like Twineham Grange
Bookham fine foods sell it on line,it works out cheaper to buy in bulk as it freezes well and you can cut it into usable pieces.It's also called Farmers Hand.
