I don't know if it's the same. For example I like the parmesan Stravecchio that they sell, but I noticed that sometimes its condition wasn't optimal. Most of it tastes fine, but the part close to the rind tends to taste moldy. Also their pieces typically have the rind on two sides, so they are clearly not the most sought-after pieces. It means a little more waste than what I am used to, but still it's a pretty good deal compared to my other options for cheese.
