QI XL - Why Does Grated Cheese Taste Better?

One topic on the "Greats" XL episode on the G series / Series G is cheese, and the question is: "Why does cheese taste better when it's grated". The panel talks also about how long cheese can be kept before it goes stale. Sean Lock makes a quite disgusting reference to this as well, which is quite funny - well, check it out :)

I do not own the rights to the clip.

"so you will destroy it and buy some more"

So true. And unfortunately there are people who actually do it!

... so I'm NOT insane! Yes! Grated parmasian smells exactly like puke, and I have never liked it for exactly that reason!
