      This is why you grate your own. As a lazy bastard, it’s one step of effort I can’t give up since I tried it the first time. Getting a real Parmigiano without all that added starch is a game changer.

      Smell. By the time you have enough mold to look like starch, it’s already got that funk.

      But the stank is way down in the cheese where the mold is and not in the top of the bag, so if it’s only on the edge of getting moldy you kind of have to get a really good noseful of bag air to detect that signature moldy smell.
