Keep it on your phone →この銀行はチーズしか受け取りません。銀行の話がこれ以上おかしくなるはずがないと思っている人に送ってください。北イタリアの丘に、五十万個をこえるチーズの塊を保管する金庫を持つ銀行があります。
そのチーズはパルミジャーノ・レッジャーノで、持ち主は地元の酪農家です。熟成して売れるまで何年も待つかわりに、農家はチーズの塊をそのまま銀行に担保として預けます。銀行はその価値の大部分を、すぐに支払います。
融資が続くあいだ、銀行はその塊を自分で保管して熟成させます。一つずつ状態を確かめ、図書館の本のように向きを変えていくのです。チーズがようやく満額で売れると、農家は融資を返し、次の仕込みでまた同じことが始まります。
