Cathedral of Cheese

This morning we visited Latteria Sociale Stallone's Grana Padano cheese factory. Grana Padano is very similar to its neighboring cousin Parmigiana Reggiana. I love both cheeses and I never substitute inferior and uncontrolled "Parmesan" cheese for the highly regulated and certified "Grana Padano" and "Parmigiana Reggiana."

The Cathedral of Cheese is located inside Latteria Sociale Stallone. It is the resting place where the Grana Padano ages. This photo is of one wall, and I love the crucifix positioned next to the cheese poster. Outside the frame, about five feet to the right, also hangs a calendar featuring nude women. Religion, cheese and naked women, gotta love Italy.

This video reflects the splendor of the Cathedral of Cheese.

    My favorite is where the guy says "Oh Shit!" while gazing upon the cheese. Joe and I definitely need to visit you this winter!
