Not every treasure shines.
Some treasures age.
Not every miracle comes down from heaven.
Some arrive in the shape of a wheel.
Some people seek happiness.
Some seek glory.
And some, in silence,
grate Parmigiano Reggiano
over a plate of freshly made macaroni.
And understand.
The years go by.
People change.
Pants get tighter.
But it remains.
Patient.
Noble.
Lightly salted.
Wonderfully aromatic.
And when the knife breaks off a piece,
there is no pain.
Only gratitude.
Because some things cannot be explained.
They can only be loved.
And one of them…
is Parmigiano Reggiano.

Experts are still debating whether it’s a cheese.
Allegro Gratinato di Grana Padano di Tutta la Vita considers the question profoundly offensive…
and refuses to continue the interview.
