SUMMARY:
- It takes at least one year for it to mature, and you’d need 131 gallons of milk to produce it.
- Parmesan was first mentioned in historical documents as early as the 13th and 14th centuries. The famous writer Boccaccio mentioned a “mountain, all of grated Parmesan cheese” in his Decameron in 1348.
- It is regulated by law that it can’t leave the manufacturer before 12 months pass by. Then, the Consorzio del Formaggio Parmigiano Reggiano, consisting of cheese experts and master graders, test the cheese and decide if it’s ready to go.
- As with any product that gets better with time, the more mature it is, the more expensive it is.
- According to The Centre for Retail Research in the UK, cheese is the most stolen food on the planet.
- The largest block of cheese ever delivered to the White House was a gift to President Andrew Jackson from dairy farmer Colonel Thomas S. Meacham of Sandy Creek, New York.
- There is a power station in the French Alps that works on Beaufort cheese! The electricity made is enough for 1,500 people.
- Cheese can be addictive because of the casomorphins contained in cow liver.
- The most expensive cheese in the world is…not Parmigiano Reggiano! It’s pule cheese from the milk of Balkan donkeys from Serbia.
- Cheese was mentioned in Homer’s Odyssey (dating back to the late 8th century BCE). The cyclops produced and stored goat’s milk cheese on cheese racks in his cave.
- Roquefort blue cheese is rich in spermidine, which is good for your heart health and blood pressure.
- Cheese can help you sleep better! This was the conclusion of a 2005 study by the British Cheese Board (it really exists!).
