EDITORS COMMENTS
Discover the timeless charm of Italian tradition with this image from the early 1900s. The photograph features a large, intricately carved wheel of Parmesan cheese from Ditta Pelagatti in Parma, Italy. The wheel, a symbol of the rich history and artisanal craftsmanship of Parmesan production, is the center of attention in this scene. But what makes this image truly intriguing is the tiny mouse, hidden from the view of an alert white cat, nestled within the wheel's crevices. The cat, with its piercing gaze and poised stance, adds a playful and whimsical element to the image, while also highlighting the protective nature of the cheese's aging process. The image, reminiscent of the classic Italian style, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The use of natural light and the warm, earthy tones of the cheese and the wooden table add to the overall charm of the photograph. Parmesan cheese, a hard, granular cheese from Italy, is a staple in Italian and international cuisine. Known for its nutty and savory flavor, it is often used as a topping or grated over pasta dishes. Parmesan and its close relative, Parmigiano-Reggiano, are popular varieties of this Italian formaggio. This postcard, a glimpse into the past, offers a unique perspective on the traditional production and appreciation of Parmesan cheese. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of Italian culture and the rich history of food production in Italy.
