The designation "Parmigiano Reggiano" is a protected designation of origin (PDO) in the European Union.

It means that to be able to call a cheese "Parmigiano Reggiano" a producer needs to follow a strict set of rules on how to produce the cheese, how to mature it, how the cows are being fed and it has to be manufactured in a specific area in Italy.

So if someone is making cheese without following the rules and sell it as Parmigiano it would be counterfeit cheese. Just like someone selling lemonade but calling it "Sprite".

And don't forget the "origin" part. These designations also include being made in a specific region. You could follow all the rules and exact ingredients for Champagne, but if it's not made in Champagne, France then you can't call it Champagne. Same for Cognac, etc.
