I love parmesan cheese. About 20 years ago when I was living in Europe on an expat assignment for Wally, I was working for their global sourcing department. As such, I had to go all over Europe and visit with Wal-Mart’s suppliers. One of the places I went was a parmesan cheese factory in Italy. If you’ve never smelled wet Parmesan....OMG!!! It smells just like puke. It was really hard not to gag when I was in the factory. The only smell anywhere near as bad was when I was in Vigo, Spain at a company that canned freshly caught fish. That absolutely reeked also.
I worked for a chemical company for awhile. One of my accounts was a sushi restaurant. I used to gag when I walked in the back door and through the kitchen.
