It is interesting that the nitrate in Chilean soil makes their wines
the best in America, and the richness of Argentine milk does the same for their cheeses, most of which are Italian imitations and some of which excel the originals. Gournay _Seine, France_ Soft, similar to Demi-sel, comes in round and flat forms about 1/4 pound in weight. Those shaped like Bondons resemble corks about 3/4 of an inch thick and four inches long. Grana _Italy_ Another name for Parmesan. From "grains", the size of big shot, that the curd is cut into. Grana Lombardo _Lombardy_ The same hard type for grating, named after its origin in Lombardy. Grana Reggiano _Reggio, Italy_ A brand of Parmesan type made near Reggio and widely imitated, not only in Lombardy and Mantua, but also in the Argentine where it goes by a pet name of its own--Regianito. |
