Led Zeppelin Does Not Leave a Good Taste in Cheese

A strange new study out of Switzerland found cheese tastes better when it’s been exposed to ’90s hip-hop.  And other genres don’t work as well.

Researchers exposed eight identical wheels of Swiss cheese to different types of music, and let them age for eight months.  They played Mozart for one, “Stairway to Heaven” by Led Zeppelin for another, techno music for a third, and so on.  Then they did a blind taste test to see which cheese aged the best.

And a wheel of cheese that was exposed to the track “Jazz (We’ve Got)“ by A Tribe Called Quest tasted the best BY FAR.  It’s not clear why, and it might just be a fluke.  So what you do with this information is up to you.
