In New Jersey at least, King's supermarkets sell chopped up rind in small containers.

Source: my Italian mom buys them for me and I munch on them all the time.

Doesn't the rind have wax? (same as candle wax)

Nothing really wrong with consuming limited quantities of candle wax.

Some cheeses do, but I've never seen it on Parmigian.
