▲ 13 ▼ Parmigiano-Reggiano makers are putting edible microchips the size of a grain of sand into their 90-pound cheese wheels to combat counterfeiters (www.businessinsider.com) submitted 3 years ago* by HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml to c/latestagecapitalism@lemmygrad.ml 48 comments fedilink hide all child comments Sure why not? Add to the delicious medley of microplastics and persistent organic pollutants, what could go wrong!

I get upset when companies pull stunts like this. Monopoly rent on flavour is a sin. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] senoro@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 years ago (2 children) No you’re good. I can see it being like a way to try and verify where the cheese you’re buying comes from but embedding it in the rind seems a bit excessive when you could just use a tag with a private key signature on it that comes with the cheese. Out of curiosity, do you know any dishes that use a sauce made of parmegianno regianno rind that someone who is a beginner-amateur (at best) at cooking could make? Or are these dishes quite complicated generally? I have always just thrown out the rind so finding out you can use it to make sauces and it’s the most flavourful part is life changing for me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] moody@lemmings.world 1 point 3 years ago Look up a Mornay sauce. Basically, it's a bechamel sauce with cheese added to it. It can be any cheese, but Parmigiano is common. Very simple to make. permalink fedilink source parent [–] o_d@lemmygrad.ml 1 point 3 years ago* It's also common when cooking at home to save the rind for soups and stews. It gives it extra umami. permalink fedilink source parent
