Somebody needs to get a life. Almost a million people have tuned to a webcam called CheddarVision that stars, you guessed it, a 44-lb. wheel of cheddar. There's not a lot of action, frankly. A digital clock counts the milliseconds; you can click over to YouTube for the time-lapse version.
Eventually you might be sufficiently intrigued to buy some cheese online. More helpful, perhaps, to see the real thing in person, whether cheddar in the West Country or Parmigiano-Reggiano in Italy, where they soak the cheese in brine for a month before the aging begins.
