Good vid. Wegman's always sells an aged Parmesan around Christmas time that has that texture. Awesome stuff. I make sure I get some when they have it.

I love to buy Parm/Regg in a store that has the full wheels. It's fun watching them crack one open. There's some real skill in doing it correctly - involves chisels and mallets! 

And for folks not in the know - save the rinds. They are amazing when tossed into soups, like minestrone.
