Grating also exposes more surface area for the food odor to enter the air. Since 'taste' is really a combo of 'taste & smell', you get a bigger hit of Parmesean when encountering a (fresh-) grated mound than a wedge or slice. It might also (partially) be that while we can eat slices or chunks of cheese by themselves, grating it usually involves being used as an accent for other foods -- to garnish a salad or top a taco -- so the "taste" of the cheese is inhanced by being Part of Something Big. |
