@cookingwithshereen takes us on a tour of a traditional Italian caseificio to see how authentic Parmigiano Reggiano is made. This fascinating process uses just three ingredients—milk, salt, and rennet—and involves meticulous steps from curdling the milk in copper vats to aging the massive wheels in a 'cathedral of cheese'.
