I'm not sure whose idea it was to mention parmesan, porn and pickles in the same headline but that mental image just ruined my lunch. ;)

Some parmesan with your porn? Not if the organisation in charge of protecting the reputation of Italy's most famous cheese has anything to do with it. The Parmiggiano Reggiano consortium said Thursday it was considering legal action against pornography streaming website Pornhub for "using the cheese's prestigious name" to promote its own "vulgar services."
 
This form the group of idiots that wanted to ban / prevent the use of their precious name in the sprinkle cheese for spaghetti and such. Wow! Get over your selves. No one is going to confuse sprinkly cheese with 50$ a pound Parmesan regiano.
 
So is parmesan a protected term anywhere but Italy? Or is it one of those terms anyone can use in any other country to describe anything vaguely parmesan-like? You know, like how every upscale restaurant in the US claims to serve "Kobe beef" even though real Kobe beef isn't sold outside Japan.

Sparkling wine companies cannot call their product Champagne unless it comes from the Champagne region of France or they will come after you. They are worse than the mafia.

It's 20$ on amazon and worth every penny!
