This better not awaken anything in me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well, I'm not going to not daydream that maybe my little piece of parmesean came from one of those wheels. That's a lot of cheese - it's not like they're going to just throw that out.

I’ve read that in Parma the cheese is so valuable they essentially have banks that hold the cheese for people. I’m almost wondering if this cheese was her payment for the marketing gig.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Would be a shame not to share that cheese with the world. In the states I've seen full wheels go for about $1k.

These images are almost perfectly arousing, they just need to get rid of the lady and I’ll be at full mast

As a man of Italian heritage, I find this incredibly appealing on several levels

Why does the website have this section? I am dying of laughter.

They'd make all their money back if they auctioned off those particular wheels

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

that third wheel will go for millions

and the feet ones too probably

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

If I were parmesan I'd sponsor her too. She's the wheel deal.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Oh to be a wheel of cheese in the embrace of an Olympic gymnast. Sigh Some dreams will never come true.

So the money of Big Parma is behind her

Why is this so funny?

Guilty as charged. I would absolutely devour that wheel.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

My daughter would too, but she's lactose intolerant. She still eats cheese, but not as much as she would if she wasn't.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Most hard cheeses don't have much lactose

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I know, I have that genetic flaw too, I just don't let it slow my cheese consumption. I do like the hard cheeses for that reason though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Original Parmesan cheese is lactose free after 12 months of seasoning (good ones are generally 24-48 months). The one in the picture says 2012, so it's safe to assume that your daughter can eat the whole wheel and not be affected by the lactose intolerance at all!

Hang on a minute, Parmesan's a brand? Not just a name of dry Italian cheese?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Parmigiano Reggiano is a protected name like champagne is. To have the name it has to be produced with traditional methods and sourced from the traditional region, all of which is legally defined. They charge a premium for this, and some of it becomes quite expensive.

America: I'm sponsored by soulless corporate conglomerates.

Italy: I'm sponsored by cheese!

America: tears up and salutes Italy

I think I wanna be her when I grow up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Well I'd rather be the cheese

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She's 21. I wanna be her and ungrow down. :(

Holy Moses, half my age and hugging a huge cheese. #goalz

cheese has never looked so good before

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

That's going to get sold on the internet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Vegans: I’m not impressed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

How do I get sponsored by cheese? urgent

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Did you know those wheels sweat oil? I hope they were wiped down before. And after, I guess.
