The text suggests that mice and rats do not like cheese and mentions a study indicating Parmesan smell is unpleasant to them.
The evidence supports the claim that mice generally do not prefer cheese, as multiple sources confirm mice's preference for sweet, grain-based foods over cheese. Additionally, while no studies directly examine mice's response to Parmesan specifically, evidence suggests that certain acids in Parmesan can produce unpleasant smells, though this primarily relates to human perception. This aligns with the claim that mice may not find the smell appealing.

Science
A study showed that the smell of Parmesan is unpleasant to mice and rats.
While specific studies on mice and rats' reaction to Parmesan were not found, evidence indicates Parmesan contains acids that produce strong smells, often unpleasant to humans. This supports the possibility that mice may dislike it, but direct evidence is limited.
