    wheelAnatomyBecause every Parmigiano Reggiano® cheese wheel is made according to the same regulations and the same traditional methods, you can count on high quality regardless of which wheel your wedge happened to be cut from.
    At the same time, Parmigiano Reggiano is an all-natural artisanal cheese, so one wheel may differ in small ways from another. Each batch of milk is slightly different, depending on the particular cows, what they ate, the season of the year, the precise geographic location of the herd, the soil, the climate and so on. The practices of cheese artisans may differ in subtle ways-and the length of aging for each wheel can certainly vary.
    As a result, each Parmigiano Reggiano wheel offers the best of two cheese-making worlds: consistent quality and small but sometimes distinctive differences. These differences are the hallmarks of the artisanal cheese-making process. It is also what separates a hard grating cheese made by hand from an industrially made hard grating cheese.

    What an impressive demonstration on how to break down a Parma wheel. I grew up in my teens in Italy. Back then, we could buy a kilo of parm for $5.00 at our local outdoor market. Parma doesn’t have any competition because no one can produce the quality and flavor profile. As a cook, there is no other cheese to use for pasta dishes.

    I find very fascinating the fact that a person cutting a cheese can bring random people together. There you are, walking by in that place, and you see an employee taking a big wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano and starting to cut it. You, as many others in the premises, stop by to witness such a satisfying moment. Suddenly, there's no race or age dividing each other, we're all equally enjoying the process and marveling at it. A complete stranger passes by with a tray offering cheese, and you don't think twice to grab a piece, because it's part of the moment too. In the end, we all awe and cheer at the broken cheese.
    Cheese brings people together. Except the lactose intolerant ones. I feel sorry for you guys.
    EDIT: as some have said, even lactose intolerant people can enjoy so, even better! 😊

    I am from Parma, Italy, where culinary culture is of paramount importance and presence daily. I believe every kid from Parma (at least, when I was a kid) has had a chance to visit a Parmigiano production site. The cows are literally fed and milked 10 meters away from where the process for making the cheese starts. Parmigiano makers from my area dedicate their lives to this, and they say it’s worth it. The way they make and store the cheese for years is just so natural, and the cows are treated excellently, they get fed the best food for their diet and are much more free than the cows bred for beef (or Prosciutto di Parma). A wheel of 48 months here would cost much less, but the price is still justifiably high, the work and passion behind a wheel is what makes it unique

    I worked for wholefoods for years and they'd always make the cracking of the new parm wheel a big thing. They'd announce it and people would gather around to watch.

      It kinda is pretty important, one wheel can range up to prices in the three thousands! That’s a lot for a wheel of cheese if you think about it but the stuff is amazing quality.

      Based on the layout and branding of the store I can tell it's a Fortinos location, which is a supermarket chain in the Toronto-Hamilton area of southern Ontario.
