The Cheese Inspectors
Do you like this story?
During their maturation, wheels of Parmigiano-Reggiano are inspected by sticklers who use a light steel mallet (as demonstrated by a manager of the Santa Lucia Caseificio) to probe the interior of the wheel for faults...
Apparently, these mavens can tell, by gently tapping on the surface of the wheel in various places, whether there are any air pockets inside. Which would not be a good thing..
Note that these wheels were manufactured in 2011. Every wheel is stamped with month and date of manufacture.
