It just has an amazing flavor. When I first tried it I thought 'aha - this is what parm reg tastes like' . As if I took off my sunglasses in a dark room and said 'now I see'. While I'm as huge advocate of a basic parm reg and use it liberally, it does pale in comparison. Buy a bit when you want to splurg (and if you're a cheese lover!). http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/300739?tag=search_results;results_list Fri Mar 20 08:11:42 -0700 2009 155034 alwayscooking 1 4525142 Love it, love it , love it......... i found the same with Prosciutto San Daniele, as opposed to the Prosciutto di Parma. There is nothing like a big hunk of GOOD Parm. to grate over almost any dish... i love snacking on the shards as well.
