OP The MW Buzzword was parmesan. A brief list of cheeses from various locations (Colby, Cheddar, Gorgonzola, and Parma) was listed there.
What I'm wondering about is why the 'a' in Parma was dropped and an 'e' replaced it. Is this a rule for adjective formation in Italian? Emanuela, are you looking in?
