After nine month of aging, each wheel gets checked and, if considered of adequate quality, gets fire-branded with the Grana Padano logo. A wheel of Grana Padano is cylindrical, with slightly convex or almost straight sides and flat faces. It is 35 to 45 cm (14 to 18 in) in diameter, and 15 to 18 cm (5.9 to 7.1 in) high.
Raspadüra is a term from the western Lombard language which in Italian means "scraping": the thin sheets of raspadüra are, in fact, progressively scraped from the surface of the half-cheese with the help of a manual lathe that turns the cheese on itself, and of a special flexible, flat and curved knife that in the colder months can also be heated, so as to obtain soft ribbons of grana cheese ...
Grana is a type of hard, mature cheese from Italy with a granular texture, often used for grating.Grana cheeses are typically made in the form of large wheels.The structure is often described as crystalline, and the wheels are divided by being split with a fairly blunt almond-shaped knife designed for the purpose, rather than being sliced, cut or sawn.
Wheels with Asanti 28 in (710 mm) rims on a police Hummer H2 car. The wheel size is the size designation of a wheel given by its diameter, width, and offset. The diameter of the wheel is the diameter of the cylindrical surface on which the tire bead rides. The width is the inside distance between the bead seat faces.
Hard cheeses are often consumed in grated form, and include Grana Padano, Parmesan, or pecorino. The flavour of hard cheeses is often perceived to be richer. [24] [25] The moisture content of semi-hard cheeses is between 25–45% of its dry weight. [19]
ISO 5775 is an international standard for labeling the size of bicycle tires and rims. The system used was originally developed by the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO). It is designed to make tire sizing consistent and clear. It replaces overlapping informal systems that ambiguously distinguished between sizes.
If a tire size has three sets of numbers (15x6.00-6, 26x12.00-12, 31x15.50-15), then the first number (26x12.00-12) is the approximate tire diameter in inches, the second number (26x12.00-12) is the approximate width in inches, and the third number (26x12.00-12) is the rim diameter in inches.
Plus sizing is the practice of replacing an automotive wheel with one of a larger diameter fitted with a new tire of lower aspect ratio so that the new tire has close to the same diameter and circumference as the original tire to minimize any changes in speedometer accuracy, torque and traction control, while reducing sidewall flex and (generally) increasing cornering ability.
