Michigan isn't as well known for cheese as Wisconsin, Vermont, or New York, but we make incredibly good cheeses that are white, yellow, and some even have red or blue flecks in them. Apparently somewhere in the US, (maybe Ohio or Pennsylvania?) actually makes a more "traditional" Parmesan than most of what Italy exports. Apparently it's creamier, and not so hard. There are seriously entire cheese shops in larger cities where over 50% of the cheese in the store was made in the US.
I just watched a documentary on older Italian food apparently parmesan in Italy was originally creamier and softer.
