- The manufacturing process of Parmesan cheese wheels in an Italian factory.
If you're wondering...The remaining whey in the vat is traditionally used to feed the pigs from which "Prosciutto di Parma" (cured Parma ham) is produced.

"Parmesan does start with cows, but it's only their milk we want."
Cow: "You said you loved me for my personality!"
LoL
XD
HEY EVERYONE LOL
Jennifer Cavenee Made my day
Jennifer Cavenee 😂😂👏🏾👏🏾
Fun fact: the process shown in the video is pretty similar to how Parmigiano Reggiano is made, but you can clearly see it @2:55 @3:48 @4:10 and @5:00 that it is in fact Grana Padano. This cheese is very similar, but not the same.
Absolutely love the huge room full of cheeses, with the custom robot scurrying around turning them.
Without even hitting play, I have an idea that Yonatan Zunger will like it.
The intense Parm smell in those rooms is heaven
Poor robots be turning our cheese with no idea what it smells or taste like.
04:45 Damn, grandpa showed us how it's done when it comes to snorting cheese!
That shit cut
I should be studying, but instead I'm watching cheese making videos.
Fuck my life
gl lol
LOL same here! so fucked.......
you are studying it... how to make cheese.. nothing F.....D
Dude watching a cheese making video is me studying xD
ffffffuuuuuck thanks for the reminder. This was going to be my 9th last video.
What do you do for a living ? " I watch as blocks of cheese make their way into the salt bath. "
lol
that job must suck ass... he has to stand there all day
or "i smell parmesan cheese all day"
Walter Rackley atleast he makes money
Bambam!
4:21 Interesting. This is the only time I remember hearing a How It's Made narrator saying anything negative about the company that accommodated their cameras in their facility.
"The head cheese maker"
Lmfao
move cheese, get out the whey
you did not just do that.
+Just A FluffFluff :) LMAO
Way*
Sarin Kim someone doesn't get the pun
Alexandro Hutt he spelt way wrong *face palm*
I wonder if the man pushing the cheeses in the salt brine used to be a gondola driver, looks like he knows his whey of using that stick
Congratulations, someone here noticed your pun after a year.
It’s me.
Lmfaooooooo
Parmesan cheese and pasta together is the best ever
The stamp applied at the end was Grana Padano, meaning this is not even Parmesan cheese...
It’s the same thing.. if a recipe ask for Parmesan and you only have grana padano you can substitute it for that cheese.. and they make the cheese the same way so basically it’s the same shit
It's just a regional thing. Parmiggiano regiano is only from a certain region. Grana Padano can also be from other regions.
@@fjellyo3261 Grana Padano can only be made in the Po river valley. Grana padano is also younger than Parmezan.
LD #22 lmao you’re the idiot 😂
@Derp Derp Not if you go to any French dinner.
The video is about Parmigiano Reggiano and then he stamped it with Grana padano. HUH.
+Laeeq Ahmed u are muslim
+TD45465 ghf yeah
+TD45465 ghf Is that just a statement? Why does that matter?
+Laeeq Ahmed hahah i was just about to write the same thing
+MySubstitutedReality why does it not matter.
I worked in a Regional Italian restaurant for years and Parmigiano Reggiano whole wheels where used. I can tell you certain dairy's where better than others. Some wheels had a saltiness to the cheese, where others had a more sweet pastoral overtone with no saltiness these IMHO!!! where beyond phenomenal.
Cheese is a triumph of Humankind.
+Kimberly Patton ماشاالله
Cheese is technically the triumph of the animals (or mother nature) if you want to be exact!
Cheese stops you up. Send me a video of you grunting and popping a blood vessel while trying to shit. It's a Kodak moment!
You must be either a French or American. Other parts of the world are not too bothered about stupid cheese.
Thanks for this video! I’m following a 4 year chef’s training and I had to make an essay about main ingredient. I chose Parmesan cheese. No doubt this content helped me a lot!
I love parmesan and it is a great tribute to pasta.
Paramesan cheese has certain bacteria on it that give it that smell.
At times, your feet can smell like Paramesan cheese due to the same bacteria on your feet.
Probably coming from the workers dipping their fingers in the cheese all the time.
It's intentionally added.
Don't ask.
Its the same????????? I have always wondered why it smells like ass
Submersed24 Yes's the same.
ost sweinen The workers hands must be kept sanitary or they would have been fired by now.
absolutly yes...
Wait. Enzymes from cow stomachs? I thought it was only the milk they wanted?! Liars!
The stomachs of unweaned calves produce rennet, which coagulates milk. There's more demand for rennet than there are calves, so vegetable rennet is also used.
so parmesan isn't even vegetarian ): they use poor baby cows stuck in the industry
Pranav
Unfortunately vegetable rennet is known to cause off flavors in cheeses with long ripening times like parmesan. So while many cheesemakers use it, anybody going for authenticity won't.
Wingedshadowwolf You can also make it from thistle I believe.
depends on what kind of vegetarian you are. definitely not vegan. caesar dressing and pad thai are also not vegetarian since they contain fish but i see ignorant veg-heads order this stuff all the time. knowing whats in your food is important.
The cheese vault is easily one of the most impressive things I've seen...
I'm so proud of my country. everything about this production oozes class!
You are a goddamn idiot 100 apprx years ago you all were welcoming the allies like you had been a bunch of fucking victims. In reality you were as culpable as the third reich. But yeah pride is all it takes!!
@@BestPlconEarth50 haha. Oh my, the lack of education and ignorance is quite embarrassing. Victims?? Ever heard of Mussolini? Mussolini was an MI5 agent, loser. He was a paid member of the British secret service throughout ww1. Ever heard of Sykes and picot? Italy were no victims. Italy were asked to changed sides by the allies 😂 The allies offered a chunk of Turkey to Italy in return for joining their war effort. How about you pick up a book and do some learning.
@@recruitmentch ignore him im Half British and I love Italy and Germany!

im in this part of youtube again
wonder how many guys fall into the salt brime considering they are chilling right by the liquid...
lol I can imagine that, just "woop de dah.. just doin my jo-OH SHIT!"
Dum de da dum dan~~~~~
Oh,whoops
FFFFUCK I'M IN THE SALT BATH!!!!
Goddamn it Jerry!!! I told you, No swimming in the salt brine!!
It's what gives that cheesy flavour. You need 2/3 bodies floating all the time.
Jack Berry True story: I knew someone who fell in a paper processing vat. His body was found 2 weeks later.
Great upload again mate , thanks !!
Thanks again for another wonderful video Triwood! I always wanted to know what the difference was in making regular cheese and parmesan.
I do a bump of reggiano with my corkscrew every morning
The police search me the other day and found bags of parmesan in my coat pocket
I've worked a 12 step reggiano program. Keep coming back, it works!
This is great! It actually helps me with my food technology. We're learning about food manufacture and preservation.
Great video. I've always wondered what went into making my favorite cheese.
Parmesan cheese is awesome!
That ending made me lol. 1 in 10 items stolen in stores is Parmesan.
People in australia seem to like stealing snakes 😂
Thnx for another great video! ive been waiting for a while lol but worth it.
......... Raider's of the Lost Arc sprang to mind there for a moment......... I adore cheese, thank you for uploading 😊
OK EVERY BODY STICK THEIR HANDS IN THE MILK?????
Dont worry, i'm sure they didn't forget to have their weekly bath.
I KNOW RIGHT WTF
I KNOW!!!!! GROSSSSS
Plus some of the guys had on rings which is a good place for dirt and bacteria but somehow it doesn’t kill us.
Guys, have you ever heard of the wonderful art of sanitization?
Confirmed! Parmesano is made by Mario's brother, Luigi.
Great video, very informative! thanks :)
Oh lovely - putting bare hands in the vats.. Sooo hygienic!
Attention Pls....I live in Parma....There're a lots of difference to Grana Padana and Parmigiano Reggiano....the second one is much better the original parmesan cheese is marked Parmigiano reggiano...
Ya'll stop acting like you are wikipedia
Right? it's kinda cheese :p
Unreliable?
Go vegan, Osama!
haaaaaa
Y'all stop applying a critical aspect of knowledge, instead sheepishly accept everything so you don't sour the mood and flow of the autonomized society
that warehouse is incredible!
Nice video!
This is Grana Padano, not Parm.
Had to give more than a "thumbs up" here. Grana Padano is delicious, and, frankly, most of my Italian friends use it more than Parmesan "proper" just because it is cheaper. I have had, however, some Granas that were superior to Parmas (though it is not a given). Still, it stupidly annoys me that this video calls it Parmesan, when it is clearly marked otherwise. It is as though they assume that English speakers will think "Grana Padano" is a brand.
medfailure AFAIK the production process is identical, the only difference is the origin of the milk (and maybe a longer maturation process in the case of parmiggiano)
@@lor7780 Shut up when you talk about the holy Grana Padano, you ignorant
that looks like an awesome job to have lol. i loooooove cheese, really i dooo.
Imagine how cool it would be to have the title “Cheese Master”
Was not expecting that warehouse full of cheesewheels. I fucking love cheese.
I love how everyone in that factory had to dip their hand in the mixture..I swear the camera man did it also.
Bet he did
So does that INCLUDE THE HAIR FROM HIS ARMS....
Sooooo much parmesan....such a happy place...
this is why the cheese stands alone in a good way
It's Luigi the head cheese maker ...
I bet Kim Jong Un would love to live in that plant, or maybe the cheese warehouse.
Never confuse the head cheesemaker with the head cheese maker. *Totally* different.
thank - you.
Cheese knappers in italy, lol😄 interesting film though
When did Grana Padano become Parmesan?
Grana Padano it's a different but similiar kind of cheese produced in another area of Italy the Po Valley while like the name state Parmesan is produced in Parma which is in another region of Italy (Emiglia Romagna). So dude you can either pick Grana Padano and Parmesan. Generally speaking both are very good but Parmesan is of a higher quality and ofc more expensive
Still not parmesan...
+Max Rose-Collins do people not know what a rhetorical question is?
Both Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano have their origins in the middle ages, when a similar cheese was made throughout northern Italy, with different cities (Lodi, Piacenza, Mantova, Parma, Reggio Emilia....) producing basically the same cheese with little variations.
The difference between Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano was definitely fixed in 1951, when cheesemaker from all Europe met in Stresa (Italy) to regulate the different names and productions methods of the various cheese types.
There are strict rules that the cheesemakers have to follow when producing these types of cheese: starting from cows' feeding to the cheeses' ageing.
parmesan is a general name for more types.. they just differ in what the cows eat or in case of Gran Moravia if they use vegetable enzyme (said to be more stable and cheaper as its made on purpose) or the calf stomach enzyme as the old tradition says
WOW JUST CHEESE? UNBELIEVEABLE! GOOD JOB
Italians make the best of everything! Cheese, Ham, Wine, Cars, Motorcycles, etc. What a culture! The best!
It's 2am where am I
Some of these comments are ludicrous. You're afraid someone's hand has touched your food? Your only alternative is to grow and harvest and raise and slaughter everything you ingest yourself. Food production -- of all varieties -- is a very nasty business. Grow up.
Those people never go out to eat. In a restaurant they dont touch anything with their hands. :-)
I have only have one food handling fear. That's hand tossed salads, where has these people's hands been? I don't want anyone fondling my salad that I don't know. No strangers having foreplay with my food. Lol have a good day.
Just wait until they find out what things are really made with, thing like....jello, ice cream, food coloring, fake vanilla flavoring.lol
bla bla bla
The cheese going down the fucking lazy river ride cracked me up. Its like a water park for cheese.
the salt bath makes it so tasty and of course some flavors from the workers shoes.
did you guys know that is the feet smell like cheese and not the other way around
+Παναγιώτης Ζούλης dirtytoes
ok
I bet humans had the smell of cheesy feet long before parmesan was invented ;)
People made and ate cheeses before they used shoes made of plastic. So, no.
the fact is that in our feet lives a specific bacteria that feeds from the sweat of our feet and their actual fart smell like cheese because they create a protein that is found on cheese
This is not real parmigiano reggiano. It's "Grana padano", which is another sort of parmesan cheese : It's cheaper than parmigiano reggiano (the real parmesan), matures for a shorter period of time, and is less tasty.
it's also made from different cows from different pastures so the milk tastes different. It's cheaper because the region that is allowed to make it is much bigger than the region that can make Parmigiano. Excellent for more mild dishes where you don't want the cheese to overpower.
Its also somewhat saltier in my experience
Wow haven’t thought the process so complicated
The first cheese shown was Parmigiano Reggiano but the one at the end is a Grana Padano. Similar in size, shape and taste. But not the same thing.
Parmiggiano Reggiano, not parmesan cheese...
Parmesan cheese means that it is a shabby imitation. Parmigiano Reggiano is the name of the king of cheeses.
Get to know the difference to avoid being ripped off.
plus this is the process of production of Grana Padano
multiplo46 Can you please tell me the name of the enzyme they use in minute 0:43 .,Because this is another important critical point in the whole process.
Cruse rennet. rennet. enzyme from the stomach of calves.
has the purpose of curdling, ie separate the casein (an important milk protein) and fat in the form of soft dough from the remaining liquid part of said serum.
multiplo46 thank you
Grana Padano is a DOP too.
It is produced with a disciplinary though less severe than Parmigiano Reggiano.
€ 3 kg is not little.
How do they get the rennet? Seems either super harmful for the calves or just disgusting thing to get.
I surely don't want to eat parmesan cheese after watching this
Congratulations.
Why? All real cheese is made in a similar way.
Wow..this is so interesting :)
Amazing
he fingered the cheese lol...
yes i am 10 years odl
What do you know about fingering? 10 years old? You need to stay off the internet and stay in the books!!
@@j2uazon83 No, he's just getting empowered.
This is GRANA PADANO not PARMESAN or "Parmigiano Reggiano" It comes form different places. The REAL Parmesan "Parmigiano Reggiano" come from Parma and Reggio Emilia. THe GRANA PADANO ( that you see in the movie) comes from PIANURA PADANA. Are similar but not the same!!!!
JacopoToscani Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, ovest bologna e una piccola partre mantovana.
Giusto!
Che ignoranza questi americani
E si che è National Geographic mica cazzabubboli...
Va beh che per loro qualsiasi formaggio venga dall'italia è parmigiano Reggiano.. buuhhh
formaggio grana ho scoperto viene tradotto direttamente parmesan cheese
thanks
Great, parmesan isn't vegetarian, it has fucking calf stomach juice in it
Hate to break it to you dude, but all cheese has stomach juice in it.
E-J Thompson vegetable rennet exists though theres probably a type of parmesan that uses that kind of rennet
xD
Not sure I'm happy with the amount of hand dipping going on in this...

+YS Chan LOL
L1am21 ...strangely that fact never disturbed me...had fresh milk once...from the udder into a cup...tasted weird
wow that's allot of cheese. I love Parmesan. I eat it almost everyday!
I don't know why, but I used to watch this video all the time when I was, like, five.
It wasn't even real parmigiano reggiano. It was grana padano?? I lived in Italy for a while and I know that grana and parmigiana are very different cheeses.
+Donie Little
Yes, and from what I understand Parmesan cheese in the US is actually closer to Grana Padano.
parmigiano is way more intense in taste and it takes longer for it to ripe? grana is cheaper and not so intense
+MrFrankylll ...There is also the Grana Padano with flavor "intense" as long as it matured. The Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano are equivalently good. More months of seasoning, the more they cost! And good also "Trentingrana" (original Alpine Dolomites, Trentino, but is hard to find is not widespread) Bye
Price is depending how long time cheese stay to rest in storage buildings. If you buy Parmigiano or Grana Padano with the same age there isn't too much price difference. Before to buy this kind of cheese you must read label how long time seasoned (months).
Cheese made by sweat and skin particles

are they sticking their hands in :$
I guess you don't like wine either? Some wine companies still have people crush the grapes with their feet. Some things you just have to get over.

M Lunar
If you think that parmesan cheese is shit, then I guess all you eat is shit.
is anyone else desterbed bby the fact that there not wearing cloves
nah, they seem to be in a clean enviroment, i live in mexico, and most street food is made without any tipe of gloves, it's nether gross nor dangerous.
If they wore gloves, they wouldn't be able to feel the consistency & feel of the milk/cheese.
..and think about the dirty cows guts, cows should wear plastic pipes inside their guts
do you know they wash their hands BEFORE with products that kill bacteria? cmmon! there are really strict rules of cleanliness for producing grana padano and parmigiano reggiano for companies, due the fact they are Dop ( protected denomination of origin, a high guarantee of quality), then italian rules are strictier than Eupean ones (for exemple in italy you cannot produce cheese with powdered milk) , and european rules strictier than US for producing food! if you buy really italian cheese and not the fake ones (and there are maaaany of them in supermarkets with italian flag and "parmesan" written on it but there is not the sign of DOP and they ARE NOT italian parmigiano reggiano or grana padano) you will be absolutely safe!
Lock Lamora italy is in europe u said that italy is stricter than europe and 2 me that makes noooo sense pls explain. btw tnx 4 telling me that. probably took a while 2 write all that
My oh my. My fave cheese along with 🧀 Swiss
Italians really knows what food is about
I don't like how they put their hands in the food… I am pretty sure machines would do the job better. Humans should be cleaning and repairing machines, instead…
The future is in us making machines that will make things better than we could ever do!
I'm sure their hands are completely clean and it's not the milk you're getting as the result anyway, it's the cheese which is at the bottom. A machine can never do some things better than man, including art. Some consider cheese making an art.
Frank Shang You don't need much biology education to understand the risks of unsanitary food manipulation…
Also, machines can do everything humans can, and even better! It is only a matter of making sufficiently sophisticated machines.
(The only reason machines can't do Arts is because we don't have a proper definition of "arts"! Machine can do Arts, only we decide not to recognize it as art!)
I hope you're only joking... You should realize that those hands symbolize the pride of our agri-food culture!
P.S.: this is not a generic "parmesan cheese", neither Parmigiano Reggiano P.D.O., it's Grana Padano, the best selling P.D.O. cheese worldwide.
They have to feel the texture to know if it is right or not. And there's a difference between wanting things to be clean which is perfectly acceptable and being completely paranoid about cleanliness, which is ridiculous.
Quit being a germaphobe. There's nothing wrong with what they are doing. Besides, it's a food made from the fluids from a cow's stomach, for fucks sake. Get over it.
Cringed a bit as they stuck their hands in the liquid.
It's really simple, just take a long time
bravo
Wait... They put their bare hands in the mix? Ohhhh. I am not buying the cheese anymore. What if there is free edge on the nails and there is dirt in it? What if bacteria is on the hand somewhere? I am not an alarmist but I do have my limits.
Donna Angus Did you notice that they heat the mixture up?
For fuck sakes, don't breed.
Dont ever try to step outside of your house. There are plenty of bacteria that could kill you. Dont try to breed. It could kill you.
She is talking right but its not true .The cheese is not dirty this cheese is the best one in the world and only some italians can do it. maybe this guys should work with some gloves will be better
ckemi mire duhh, in the real world of culinary you really need to use your hand for some purpose,
is that too hard to wear glove ?.-. Look so ew when they touch the cheese . Sorry bad grammar
+Illya Damia they can't know the texture of the cheese if they wear gloves, the whole point of sticking your hands is to know when it's ready.
+Illya Damia People didn't wear gloves for thousands of years, and here we are.

Not necessarily a lower grade cheese, but another type of Italian hard cheese. Both parmiggiano reggiano and grana padano have a DOP quality assurance (Denominazione de Origine Protetta), so they both pretty good.

They washed them......;
