Auditory Inspection: The Science Behind Parmigiano-Tapping

About this episode

A Nobel laureate explains how a trained cheese master uses a precise tap to listen for internal structure, uniformity, and potential flaws in Parmigiano-Reggiano without cutting. We compare this artisanal acoustic check with modern non-destructive methods like X-ray imaging and explore how traceability and broader sensory evaluation fit into authentic, high-quality cheese.
