    No and NO! Are you trying to get yourself severe food poisoning?
    That is not the same kind of mold used on blue cheese.

    I'm REALLY hoping this is a joke thread. :)

    Sometimes if there's just a small spot or two of mold, I will cut it off and feel fine to eat the rest of the cheese. But for that? Yeah, it's getting pitched.

    Oh yikes, just saw it's grated, too, not block. Please throw it out!

    No don't!
    and please buy proper parmigiano reggiano and not this stuff. It ripens for at least 20 months.

    Parmigiano Reggiano is the king of cheeses. It comes from Parma in Italy and is a national treasure. A little goes a long way. I buy it on sale at 16 € a kilo (2.2 lbs). Sometimes a little mold starts growing on it and I cut it out. Just fine.

    To buy it in the States, I'd check out internet. Buy the original--you'll be glad you did.

    Boar's Head imports their parm from Italy, it's legit.
    Don't worry about the cheese snobs, OP, eat what you like.
    If you want it to last longer, Boar's Head sells blocks of imported Parmagiano Reggiano that you can grate yourself as you need it.
    Most large grocery stores sell these small blocks in their specialty cheese sections.
