where is the best place to hide a body

Is this dishwasher safe

Yes, it is 100% dishwasher and microwave safe.

yes absolutely (I had to test it)

If you are washing your wheels of cheese in the dishwasher, you need to see a therapist. Something is wrong.

No, the Full Wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese is not dishwasher-safe.

Are individuals the right target audience to offer for sale such a large amount of parmesan? An 80 pound wheel is a lot of product, especially if it needs to be consumed within 2 weeks of cutting.

This item is available for everyone, however, we do have smaller options available if this is too much: https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/parmigiano-reggiano-cheese/?pkey=s~Parmigiano%20Reggiano%20Cheese~2&sbkey=default

How much does a whole wheel weigh?

Hi Prettysharp, The whole wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano weighs approximately 80 pounds.

Why are you charging $3000 for a wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano....when it can be bought for about $1200

Hi Bubbs, Our food merchant states that there are many options in the market for a full wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese that can range in quality. The wheel that we offer is authentic and of high quality from the Emilia Romagna region of Northern Italy. Our wheel comes with all the markings to support that. It appears that there are wheel options online that do not show authenticated markings.

Hi, sorry I was looking for the age in the description. How aged is this wheel of cheese?

A wheel aged 2 years is only worth $1,500 and it has the correct markings from Italy. This wheel would have to be aged 60 months to be worth this price.

Hi David, The cheese is aged an average of 2 years.

Does it need to be refrigerated?

My grandmother used to purchase a wheel at a time, she cut it quarters, she the took a cotton dish towel, dampened the towel through, wrapped it around the parmesan, then wrapped that in tin foil, we used it all year, if any mold showed up it was on the outside and she would just cut that away then start grading it for our meals, then repeat the wrapping process. Although we never had an issue with this for as long as my grandparents lived, I'm not sure if I would suggest it in these years as the price is huge for a wheel, maybe try it with a few wedges first, not so much to lose then. I think I need to buy one now,

Hi Jordan, Refrigerate the cheese upon receipt. Cheese can be refrigerated for up to six months; once cut, it should be eaten within two weeks.
