220,000 tons of cheese rind gets thrown away every year. That’s enough to fill the Colosseum in Rome. But Italian grandmothers have known for centuries that these rinds are flavor gold. As part of cucina povera, Parmigiano rinds were grated down to the bone and added to soups, extracting years of concentrated umami that developed during aging. Learn three professional techniques to transform what most people bin into restaurant-quality dishes.

  2. Inedible rinds to avoid: wax coatings (e.g., Edam, red-waxed Gouda), cloth or leaves (used for wrapping), and very hard, aged rinds like those on Parmigiano Reggiano when eaten raw.
