Curing room in a Roquefort cheese factory (G. Ellbrecht)
Parmesan Cheese is an Italian cheese made mostly
in the Valley of the River Po and named from the City
of Parma. It is produced from partly-skimmed milk
and is allowed to become hard and dry, being used
grated with macaroni.
The milk is set with rennet at a comparatively high temperature, about 95° F., and when it is firmly curdled it is broken up and stirred rather vigorously, which makes the curd fine and dry. Color is now added—powdered Saffron—at the rate of 0.5 gram to 100 kg. milk. The curd is cooked slowly under constant stirring
