    Someone that has an $87 food budget probably isn’t going to buy imported Italian cheese.

    There’s some US-made “parmesan” that’s somewhat decent and quite a bit cheaper than the legit Italian stuff, just make sure you buy a block of it and not anything pre-grated, and that it doesn’t have any filler ingredients.

    Some US-made parmesan is produced using similar techniques to Parmigiano Reggiano, they just can’t legally call it that since it’s not made in a specific area in Italy.

      Block cheese in general will be okay, but some of it isn’t even made eith the same process and is instead just flavored with crap to make it taste the same.

      Which in general, buy the best you can afford. Doesn’t have to be amazing, most people won’t even really know the difference anyhow.
