Summary: One of the most popular Italian cheeses is Parmigiano Reggiano, known as Italy's big cheese; it's still made by hand in giant copper cauldrons. In this episode, host Will Studd meets two families that have been producing this cheese for generations, and learns about the extraordinary steps they take to control production. With visits to the farms and maturation rooms, Will witnesses the selection and ripening processes. Finally, we get a lesson on Parmigiano Reggiano's popular cousin, Grana Padano.
