Giorgia Villa is sponsored by Parmigiano Reggiano.

Her cheesy photos have taken the internet by storm

"Some of the products brought by Parmigiano Reggiano were inserted and attempts were made to reproduce pre and post sport consumption opportunities," he wrote.

Now, fresh off her medal in Paris, those photos are going viral. Villa helped the Italian team win silver Tuesday in the all-around final, coming in second to the U.S.

Brie is nothing like Parmesan

Parmesan is nothing like Parmigiano Reggiano

[FamiliarFace]

True true true, and Brie is not like either of them.

I’m not a guy, but I tend to agree with your assessment. The cheese is somethin’ else!

[Bullish]

I’m sure glad I don’t “NEED” an Olympic hero. The Olympics have been turned to crap thanks to wokeness and Comcast/NBC.

They have been woke crap for a very long time.

But some worthy evens mixed in.

Nice wheels.

You got that right. I had some Parmigiano Reggiano on excellent spaghetti and was spoiled forever.

That vile stuff in the green cardboard can should be labeled “cheese product” like the oil-based yellow slices are.

Check out Parma Shop.

Their shipping is reasonable and very fast...I can order on Friday and have it on Tuesday.

I don’t do whole wheels tho...I leave that to pretty gymnasts.

I rather she didn’t use real cheese. It isn’t fit to eat anymore.

Judge’s score: 15.999!

> "Mi piacciono i miei uomini forti come una buona forma di parmigiano."

Let's see, that translates approximately to:

"I like my men to be like good parmesan: strong and hard."

That about right?

[aquila48]

Same here, but with that great smile I could be talked into switching.

I am very fortunate. Here in Upstate NY, my local Wegmans supermarket has Parmigiano Reggiano and Locatelli Pecorino Romano, my two favorite cheeses for grating and slicing with crackers. Yum!

[jonrick46]

It actually says, “I like my men strong like a good wheel of parmesan.” However, one can have fun with the variations.

[Muhammy]

I’m a Locatelli Romano dude.
Shaved off a chunk, never dry!

What a friend we have in Cheeses.

[Tennessee Nana]

Cheesy grin

We go through a lot of that stuff every year.
