Remarks
The quantity of Parmesan crumbles for 1 liter of milk is very indicative, so use what you have on hand, but of course the more crumbles there are, the more pronounced the taste of the milk.
Crusts can be quite old, even several weeks old, without any problem.
As for the herbs, use what you have on hand.
