Italy’s big cheese is still made by hand in giant copper cauldrons, just as it always has been. In this episode Will meets the Biemme family, which has been making Parmigiano Reggiano in their farm for four generations, and learns about the extraordinary steps they take to control production. He visits the farm and maturation rooms before meeting the Cravero family, who have been selecting and ripening this wonderful cheese since the 1890s. Finally, he investigates Parmigiano Reggiano’s popular cousin, Grana Padano.
