Free glutamates exist in certain cheeses (such as parmesan), in tomato products, and in soy sauce. These products are often used to enhance the flavor of meat dishes. Proteins can be hydrolyzed by heat, releasing free glutamates. Cooked meats, especially grilled meats, get some of their taste from free glutamates.

Climate change leads to shifts of species distribution ranges towards the poles (Parmesan and Yohe 2003) and influences the success of invasive species.

Emilia-Romagna, a region which represents a twentieth of the total land area of Italy, contains 2,300,000 head, a quarter of the national pig population. This population is not distributed uniformally within the region, but is concentrated in the area where Parmesan cheese is produced. Swine rearing in this area is an age-old tradition since it is linked to the production of whey, which has always been used as a feeding stuff. 

I knew Duchamp casually, beginning in the early 1940 s in New York City, in the French Surrealist milieu. Late in the decade, we met once or twice at the dusty New York studio that he had had for years (on West Fourteenth Street, I think), but more often at a little downstairs Italian restaurant, where he invariably ordered a small plate of plain spaghetti with a pat of butter and grated Parmesan cheese over it, a small glass of red wine, and espresso afterward. In those days his lunch must have cost seventy-five cents, or less. He could not have been more pleasant, more open, more generous, or more objective, especially when I recall how few of my questions had to do with him. 

Members of three genera are used as cheese starters. For cheeses that are cooked to a temperature below about 39°C, species of Lactococcus, usually Lc. lactis ssp. cremoris, are used, i.e. for Cheddar, Dutch, Blue, surface mould and surface-smear families. For high-cooked varieties, a thermophilic Lactobacillus culture is used, either alone (e.g. Parmesan) or with Streptococcus salivarius ssp. thermophilus (e.g. most Swiss varieties and Mozzarella). Leuconostoc spp. are included in the starter for some cheese varieties, e.g. Dutch types the function is to produce diacetyl and C02 from citrate rather than acid production. 

While rennet-coagulated cheese curd may be consumed immediately after manufacture (and a little is), it is rather flavourless and rubbery. Consequently, rennet-coagulated cheeses are ripened (matured) for a period ranging from about 3 weeks for Mozzarella to more than 2 years for Parmesan and extra-mature Cheddar. During this period, a very complex series of biological, biochemical and chemical reactions occur through which the characteristic flavour compounds are produced and the texture altered. 

The coagulant is major contributor to proteolysis in most cheese varieties, notable exceptions being high-cooked varieties, e.g. Emmental and Parmesan, in which the coagulant is extensively or totally denatured during curd manufacture. 

Elevated ripening temperatures, especially for Cheddar which is now usually ripened at 6-8°C most other varieties are ripened at a higher temperature, e.g. around 14°C for Dutch types or 20-22°C for Swiss types and Parmesan, and hence there is little or no scope for increasing the ripening temperature. 

Parmesan or Grana, as it is known in Italy, is a group of very hard bacteria-ripened, granular-textured cheeses made from partially skimmed cow s milk. They originated in Parma, near Emilia, Italy, hence the name. Special lipolytic enzymes derived from animals are used, in addition to rennet, to produce the characteristic rancid flavor. 

Starter cultures of heat-resistant lactobacilli and S. thermophilus are added, along with rennet, to form the curds. Manufacture and salting of the cheeses take about 20 days, with 12-15 days for brining. They are then stored in cool, ventilated rooms to ripen in one or two years. A fully cured Parmesan keeps indefinitely, is very hard and thus grates easily, and is used for seasoning. Low moisture and low fat contents contribute to its hardness. Parmesan cheese made in the United States is cured for at least ten months.
