What's the best way to flake off small pieces of a very hard cheese, like
old parmesan? I have a great hand grinder for this that works well but is
incredibly time consuming. For a large pizza it is a 15 minute workout. I
tried to grind these in a nut processor and it just doesn't work well with
large hard chunks. I tried the bottom blade in a food processor, and these
don't work much better. Big chunks stick to the blade and never get
pulverized. I'm thinking that maybe one of the special top attachments on
a food processor would work, but would like to hear how others deal with
this.

This isn't a question about soft cheeses. I'm only dealing with very hard
cheeses in some cases aged more than three years. Think hard and dense....
