"Parmigiano" tuile/tuile of "Parmigiano"
Explanation:
I think you cannot translate Parmigiano with parmesan or parmesan cheese, since it is is a product with the Protected Designation of Origin. In the official site, indeed, it is not translated.
BTW, a description here:
"Per esempio, la «tuile de parmesan» (pasticcino di parmigiano a forma di tegola) deve l' ispirazione a una visita al «Pescatore» di Canneto sull' Oglio."

A recipe here (even if they use parmesan cheese probably made in China)

tuile of Parmesan cheese


Explanation:
la "tuile" è una padella, se non vado errato". In pratica è il parmegiano grattuggiato, messo in una padella e fatta riscaldare fino a quando non si scioglie e forma una sorta di "frittata".
La tuile si fa prendendo la "frittata" al centro, come se fosse un fazzoletto, e si fa raffredare così, in modo che mantenga la forma.

agree  Michael Mottola: I don't think parmigiano is translated either. And tuile is found on a lot of menus and in my opinion doesn't need to be translated. Parmigiano tuile sounds better.

parmesan wafer


Explanation:
I would make this by scattering grated or slivered parmesan on a baking tray, baking till golden and leave to cool, then cut into "wafers" and use to accompany something or other. Is this the right context?
