The classic Parmesan is
NOT Vegetarian. But Vegetarian Parmesan is available in few select stores.
I get mine from Whole Foods where it is made from
Vegetable Rennet. Also look for words like
Microbial Enzymes or
Non Animal Rennet in the ingredients.
It can come both in Grated as well in wedge form. I am currently using
BelGioioso Vegetarian Parmesan for my needs.
