Parmesan Dog Names: The Geography Hidden in Cheese
The world's great cheeses are almost never named for how they taste — they're named for their birthplace. Parmesan is simply the English shorthand for Parmigiano-Reggiano, a hard, aged cow's-milk cheese whose name is bound by Protected Designation of Origin legislation to the Italian provinces of Parma and Reggio Emilia. Cheddar is a village in Somerset, England, Brie a region east of Paris, Gouda a city in the Netherlands, and Gorgonzola and Asiago are northern Italian towns as well. A cheese name is, therefore, a small geographic fossil, and a dog christened with one quietly carries that entire map around at one additional remove. This etymology essay traces the place-names concealed inside our everyday foodstuffs straight through to pickable dog names: cheese-true choices like Brie, Cheddar, and Colby; the deep Italian larder of Romeo, Marco, Enzo, Dante, Rocco, Bruno, and Sienna; far-traveling, ocean-crossing wanderers Bella, Luna, Sophia, and Bao; plus the savory pantry shelf — Pepper, Olive, and Sage for herb-colored souls, Biscuit and Macaroni for the irresistibly sweet ones.
