Did you know that cheese sits for years and years before you eat it? Well, Italian cheese! We were able to go to a cheese tasting at Gino Cacino's. He is known world wide and has a book out about his expertise in cheese.
So they test the cheese by hitting it with this little hammer. We heard the difference between good cheese and bad cheese as well as cheese from 2010 and cheese from 2006. You never would have guessed how much time and attention goes into making cheese perfect. The cheese we sampled was good. I don't think I am a fan of the super strong stuff but apparently the older you are the stronger you like your cheese.
What a wonderful cultural activity.
