This store shows how they crack open an 88 lb of parmigiano reggiano. I know I'd lose at least a finger. https://www.facebook.com/alexandra.j.do ... 311197209/ |

If you watch some of the youtube videos of it, he is working harder at it then the hard-core pros, but that is how it is done. |

Seems like there must be some kind of a saw that could do the job. |

I thought that too, Linda. Perhaps the crags are a necessary part. |

I believe a large part of the point of the cracking process (vs cutting) is to help demonstrate the cheese quality. Good parm should have nice craggy bits. Poor quality parm will not. Cutting it hides this. It also helps show respect and hand work on the cheese, vs industrial production. |

One of my favourite videos I watched (took a while to find it again, watched it first quite a while ago) on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL6vP4eDmEQ "by making this mark here we have explained to the cheese where it must break" (paraphrased only slightly) (yes, I have watched a lot of these videos...) |
