Despite persistent global challenges—including sustained inflationary pressures, tariff complexities, and geopolitical instability—Parmigiano Reggiano PDO cheese continues its upward trajectory in North America. Speaking from the Summer Fancy Food Show 2026 in New York, Consortium representatives confirmed a 2.5% increase in export volumes during the first five months of the year. Positioned as a core growth market, the United States remains a focal point for strategic investment.

To sustain this momentum, the Consortium leveraged the event to engage major retail partners and introduced its “Accademia Parmigiano Reggiano” educational platform, reinforcing the value of the authentic Made in Italy brand in a competitive international market.
