    Counterfit parm is trash. Not even close to authentic parm.

    rather than improve their own or bring down the price

    Improve it how? Authentic parm is in ultra-high demand BECAUSE IT’S SO GOOD. The price is due to the demand. They can’t make it fast enough. Why would they lower the price when they are already selling all they make? You lower the price when people aren’t buying.
