The Olympics are a spectacle of athleticism, hard work, peak performance – and perhaps, for some, eating parmesan cheese. The 21 year old from Lombardy in northern Italy was sponsored by the Consorzio del Formaggio Parmigiano-Reggiano (Consortium of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese) in 2021. In one photo, she is hugging a cheese wheel close to her chest. Parmigiano-Reggiano, or parmesan cheese, is most famously made in the hills around Parma, about 65 miles northwest of Bologna. Less visited Parma is the spiritual home of parmesan cheese, however.

☆ The Ingredient That Unites My Favorite Salads

I cleared those plates, tempted every time to sneak a rehydrating taste when there were leftovers. On my last day, the managers said I could order anything I wanted: I sat at a table, a diner for the first time, and ordered the salad. The salads of my youth, the ones I most remember, all have this effect — and they all have cheese. The contrast between cool, anchoring base note (fruit, vegetable or lettuce) and salty, creamy accent (cheese) is what makes a bite of these salads feel like more than just salad. The day I interviewed for my first food-writing job, even before getting the offer, I celebrated with a glass of rosé and a Caesar salad.

Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderWe first tried The Bird, a $16 sandwich with roasted turkey, mayonnaise, brie, bacon, guacamole, pickled red onions, and escarole, all on a toasted roll. Turkey and brie is a classic pair, but the pickled red onions and guacamole infused them with a creamy and tangy brightness. The $18 sandwich, also on a toasted roll, features Italian ham, Calabrese salami, baby Swiss, roasted peppers, olive relish, Parmigiano Reggiano, arugula, and basil. I thought it'd be impossible to beat The Bird, yet The Italian does so easily.

There are few places to grab bagels around my home now, so the bagels at Costco are a decent replacement. Instead of using cream cheese, I put Laughing Cow spreadable cheese on my bagel, preferably the light option if Costco has it. It's a good substitute for unhealthier snacks, and a pack of 60 only costs us about $10 at Costco.

Hate to break it to you, but your truffle oil wasn't made from truffles. Well, that's probably just a lab-made derivative of crude oil. However, there's a whole other level of trickery that's completely illegal: food fraud. That's when criminals bottle up corn syrup and call it 100% honey, or when they pass off cheap mozzarella as pure Parmigiano-Reggiano. We head around the world to uncover how producers get away with food deception and how we can spot the real stuff.

☆ Parmigiano-Reggiano makers are putting edible microchips the size of a grain of sand into their 90-pound cheese wheels to combat counterfeiters
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-17 | by ( Kelsey Vlamis | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

Makers of Parmigiano-Reggiano in Italy are adding microchips to their cheese wheels. That's because makers of Parmigiano-Reggiano are implanting microchips into the casings of their 90-pound cheese wheels as the latest move to ward off counterfeiters, The Wall Street Journal reported. That's because it's the original parmesan cheese officially protected by the European Union, meaning the name can only be used for the authentic product. They are being placed on the casein label, a food-safe label commonly used in cheese production, which is placed on the cheese wheel. Other industries are also considering or planning to use the chips, including makers of drugs and car parts.

☆ American-made cheese can still be called 'gruyère,' a court ruled, and cheese makers in France and Switzerland aren't happy
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-05 | by ( Stephanie Stacey | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

"Gruyère" can be used for cheeses produced in the United States, an appeals court ruled. It's a victory for dairy groups in the US, but cheese-makers in Switzerland and France aren't happy. Gruyère is a firm yellow cheese named after the town of Gruyères in Fribourg, Switzerland, where it originated. "Cheese consumers in the United States understand 'gruyère' to refer to a type of cheese, which renders the term generic." Krysta Harden, president of the US Dairy Export Council, called the ruling an "outstanding result for manufacturers and farmers here in the United States," per Reuters.

L-a dat de gol un muc de țigară aruncat la locul infracțiunii. Potrivit presei italiene, acum șapte ani moldoveanul în vârstă de 40 de ani, împreună cu mai mulți complici, a sustras cașcavalul din depozitul unui magazin specializat de produse lactate din comuna Toana, Regio Emilia. Oamenii legii au presupus atunci că unul dintre hoți ar fi fumat în timpul comiterii infracțiunii, scrie parma.repubblica.it. Prin urmare, moldoveanul va răspunde acum și pentru infracțiunea comisă recent, dar și pentru jaful de acum 7 ani.
