We’re pretty crazy about Parmigiano Reggiano<\/a> here at the culture<\/strong> office. Intern Nick waxed poetic about the “king of Italian cheese” in his Italian cheese blog series<\/a>. We’ve written about the art that is parmesan’s PDO rind<\/a>. We’ve even revealed the trick<\/a> to cracking into the behemoth 80 pound wheels that parmesan is produced in. But now, we’re bringing you the greatest secret of them all: how Parmigiano Reggiano is produced.<\/p>\n

First We Feast<\/strong> recently shared a video<\/a> of the process, made by Potluck Video<\/a> (who are, as First We Feast points out, the same people that brought us the viral video of ramen noodles<\/a> being made). In the parm video, Hombre Farm<\/a> owner Giovanni walks us through the process of making the revered cheese, first explaining that “parmesan is a passion.” (We’re with you on that, Giovanni!) The 500-cow organic farm makes only 12 wheels a day, which are aged for three years before being shipped off to sell. According to Giovanni, the process is simple: “There aren’t any kinds of secrets because the way to produce cheese is the same for hundreds of centuries.”<\/p>\n

Check out the full video below. We don’t know about you, but seeing the passion and patience behind each cheese certainly makes us appreciate dependable parmesan all the more.<\/p>\n
