Every wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano is stamped with the dairy number and month of production, aged at least twelve months, and tested by a consortium inspector who taps it with a hammer and listens. Failed wheels have their rind stripped.

The clock: Parma keeps UTC+1. The wheels are sometimes used as bank collateral — one local bank holds hundreds of thousands of them in climate-controlled vaults.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Parma the sun comes up earliest on 16 June at 05:32, while the latest sunset waits until 28 June at 21:09. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.

The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Parma that civil twilight runs about 29 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 37 minutes at the solstice.
