      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.

        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.

        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.

          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!

      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.
