Giacomo Chiapparini recently died when a shelf broke in a warehouse, causing thousands of wheels of "a Parmesan-style cheese" to fall down on top of him. The collapse reportedly sounded "like thunder." It took 12 hours to find his body.

I don't want to disparage the tragedy of this man's death, but really, calling Grana Padano "a Parmesan-style Cheese" is like calling French white wine "a Chablis-like beverage".
