| | Parmesan |
 | | Webster's defines the word parmesan as, "of or pertaining to the city of Parma in Italy." When used to describe a type of cheese, parmesan is the generic English/American word for any hard, dry, sharp-flavored Italian-type cheese that is suitable for grating. |
 | | Each cheese today is still identical to how they were centuries ago, having the same appearance, the same extraordinary fragrance, made in the same way, in the same places, with the same expert ritual techniques. |
 | | Cheeses made in the winter are often the fruitiest, filing our cutting room with whiffs of strawberries and pineapple when a giant 80-pounder is first cut in half. |
