I believe Parmesan is actually a protected description for cheese that originates from Parma / Reggio Emilia.

Otherwise it’s sparkling cheese!

In the EU, I know that for sure. Only if the "original name" is Parmigiano Reggiano, you may sell it as Parmesan. Otherwise, you gotta label it hard cheese or something. I think the same is true with pecorino romano.

Yup. It's called _Denominazione d'Origine Protetta (D.O.P.)_.
