Booger!
That’s Funny
The Green Can Stuff used to be made in my Wife’s Hometown, Kraft pulled out, several of the cheesemakers got together and bought the place, now the Company is owned by Sartori and they have won the Gold Medal at the Wisconsin State Fair several times. I love Grana Padano too... It’s all part of the Fontina of Youth...
It is high priced, easily salable and easy to steal.
Same reason people steal maple syrup, baby formula and laundry detergent.
And if you get caught you probably will get off with a slap on the wrist rather then spending the rest of your life in the poky.
"MONEY: You May Be Sprinkling Wood Pulp on Your Pasta, Not Parmesan Cheese"
The cheese is so valuable because of EU protectionist snobbery. Other nations cannot make Parmesan cheese, lable it so and import it to the EU. It’s not “the real” Parmesan cheese.

the real deal is good stuff
Yes it is. Shaved and in a sandwich w/Salami and Pepperoni and the Sweet Hot Peppers. Heck if I had enough of it I’d put it on Cereal;)

My favorite of the hard, sharp tasting salty cheeses is Sbrinz from Switzerland. But I love Parmesan as well. The real stuff. Shaved is killer.
Your comparison gave me a good laugh.
I like REAL Parmesan, but not too often. I detest cheeses that have a smell. Real parm isn’t too bad. Romano smells like fermented gym socks. Limburger, despite it’s reputation, just smells like a case of the farts after a bean supper. The all-time champion of rottenness is Blue. Take all the above smells, add vomit and dirty diaper, and you’ve got it. Tried some Danish blue a couple years ago on a dare. Foulest substance I’ve ever let past my lips.
Yep - Spent a couple years in Italy and the real stuff can't be compared to what most of us eat.
So how do you fence $300 grand worth of expensive cheese?
Well, where might one procure “the good stuff” should one have the money to do so ? Where does “Ma” get hers ??
Thanks for a speedy reply ( my week-end clock is tickin’)!!
Snoot ;o)
On the darkweb of course;)
Or I send the other half to Food Lion, Harris Teeter or Lowes Foods.
And now back to our regularly scheduled F1 crashfest...
Had to read about this one (been offline a bit) but since I am an NCIS cult follower I thought maybe the DNA of the cows might be a clue to who is buying the HOT cheese since the precious “True Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese—the so-called “King of all Cheeses”—is made from unpasteurized cow’s milk cheese, but not just any unpasteurized cow’s milk cheese. To qualify for the legally protected name in Italy and the rest of the European Union, the cheese must be made only in the certain designated provinces of Italy.”
