Stores To Get Parmesan Cheese In Rome Airport, Italy

Travelers passing through Rome–Fiumicino Airport (FCO) can still bring home authentic Italian Parmesan despite limited dedicated cheese shops.

Two standout spots carry high-quality products:

Eataly — Located in Terminal 1 (mezzanine level) and also accessible without security in Terminal 3,
Eataly is an artisanal food marketplace offering a wide array of premium Italian ingredients, including cheeses likely to include Parmesan varieties.
Aelia Duty Free — Found in Terminal 1 (Area A) and Terminal 3’s Tax‑Free Mall, Aelia features a gastronomy section stocking Italian specialties. While not exclusively focused on cheese, it offers convenience for last-minute purchases.

Other gourmet food stores such as Casa Del Gusto (Terminal 3, airside) offer Italian delicacies—though Parmesan availability may vary.

Although specific in‑airport addresses are not publicly detailed, these venues are prominently located within the terminal shopping zones.

Be sure to ask staff for Parmigiano‑Reggiano and request vacuum‑sealing if you’re planning to transport it home safely.

Let me know if you’d like help with directions within the airport or suggestions for specialty cheese shops in Rome’s city center.
