Oh to be a wheel of cheese in the embrace of an Olympic gymnast. Sigh Some dreams will never come true.
I’d eat that cheese and I’m vegan.
she cute
She’s the wheel deal!
Why is this so funny?
Hope she gets one of those cheese wheels dropped on her head. Go Vegan !
Those things are 90 pounds, so you want this woman to be killed for posing with cheese? Get help
Well yeah. She’s daring to consume something from an animal. That’s definitely one of the worst things a human can do. /s
When your stance is more extreme than PETA’s, there may be an issue.
Just for you, I’m grilling tonight
TLDR: Cheese wheel good… vegaaan baad ! OOH AAHH MUST BURN INOCENT ANIMAL ON FIRE !
Go fuck yourself.
Those innocent animals were burned because of your actions.
How suprising, moron says dumb thing and then does dumb things. Oga-boga shit for brains ;-)
And you lack the self-awareness to understand why so many think “vegan bad”. You’re a naive and petulant child.
Nah, you think theres a relation between being in a majority and being right. And Im telling you your not right and I dont accept your stupid excuses.
There is no excuse for 77 billion deaths every year.
Nazis where in majority during the 30s, these days we look back at it diffrently. Enjoy moron :-)
Why does the website have this section? I am dying of laughter.
perfetta
They’d make all their money back if they auctioned off those particular wheels
that third wheel will go for millions
and the feet ones too probably
Did you know those wheels sweat oil? I hope they were wiped down before. And after, I guess.
They’re fake, made of plastic
I really doubt that… Why would they go through the cost of producing a plastic version of their product when they could simply use the actual article? I worked in a cheese shop for years, these particular wheels are VERY durable - I legitimately can’t think of any benefit in using a fake cheese wheel, aside from TheTetrapod’s correct comment about these wheels sweating oil (which makes most people’s skin breakout into acne) which can be easily and immediately solved by using a rag.
edit: and again, having worked closely with this exact cheese many many many times, that is exactly what they look like as whole wheels. I have zero reason to believe this is plastic.
I’m Italian, those prop cheese wheels are pretty common, for store displays and such. Google “Forma parmigiano plastica” and you’ll find a lot of them.
Hang on a minute, Parmesan’s a brand? Not just a name of dry Italian cheese?
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.
Parma ftw! f**k Pharma!

She won gold before ever making it to Paris
This better not awaken anything in me
There seems to be a strategically placed hand blocking a parmesan grinder, probably for the best. But seriously, the other photo of her smiling and hugging the cheese like a giant stuffed animal is somehow heartwarming. It’s cheese, brain. Thousands of dollars of fancy cheese.
And she’s looking at the camera in a way that says, “I know you looked there.”
Time to buy some swiss cheese
Too late
Sigh… unzips pants
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.
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
Average vegetarian
I was sad to learn Parmesan isn’t vegetarian :(
I was wondering why:
Calf rennet is used, which comes from the stomach of slaughtered calves.
It’s kind of funny, having the calves slaughtered to get the milk that is naturally meant for them is considered vegetarian (as long as you personally don’t eat the veal).
If they’re kept on abusive factory farms, that’s still vegetarian.
When the dairy cows gets their throats slit because milk production drops below profitablity after ~5 years, the milk is still seen as vegetarian (as long as someone else buys the meat).
No matter how much death and suffering takes place at the farm, the milk is seen as vegetarian. But at rennet, that’s where they draw the line.
Hope they use the same ones they did for veal.
They use the ones that are culled for making milk. Bunch of male calves that the dairy industry has no use for. They’re not raised for meat because they’re not as cost effective to feed as beef cattle. Gotta keep getting the cow pregnant to keep making milk.
the vast majority of make calves are brought to full weight before slaughter.
The dairy industry and the meat industry are two sides of the same coin.
Oof, thanks for this.
True! Forgot about that
Guilty as charged. I would absolutely devour that wheel.
My daughter would too, but she’s lactose intolerant. She still eats cheese, but not as much as she would if she wasn’t.
She’s a cheese-ist! Get her!
Most hard cheeses don’t have much lactose
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.
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!
