      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.

      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.

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

          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!

        I was wondering why:

        Calf rennet is used, which comes from the stomach of slaughtered calves.

          The dairy industry and the meat industry are two sides of the same coin.

          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.

            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.

            Oh yeah, the will 100% annihilate a box of mac and cheese. Like, just devour. Like it’s nothing.

            It’s unreal, they consume an absolutely absurd amount of calories. Some athletes expend enough in a day to power most of us for almost a week.

            They will take that box and turn it into a bunch of backflips or something wild.

          I’ll have to check the rule book but as someone who knows extremely little about Parmesan cheese (other than the fact that is fucking delicious), I would say you have promise and will go far in the cheese universe.
