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.
