I believe I use the term correctly here with reference to the thread on
organic, raw, etc. honey.

That in Reggio Emilia, Italy, famed for its Parmesan cheese,
<http://www.healthwellexchange.com/nfm-online/NFM_Backs/Mar_00/parmigiano_s1.cfm>
it is said that a customer entered a cheese shop and asked for a generous
portion to be cut from a wheel for a gift.  The owner carefully selected a
hand knife eschewing a nearby mechanical model.  When queried why he did
not use the mechanical version, the owner said that this kind of knife
produced too much heat when cutting the cheese, which damaged the final
product. That if word got out a mechanical knife had been used, he said,
customers would not shop there any more.
