Costco sells the "gorgeous" 72-pound cheese wheel for $ 900

If you're in love with Parm, the last oddly oversized Costo item may seem too realistic, but it's the real deal.

In recent days, the supermarket hit the headlines selling a huge 72-pound parmigiano reggiano wheel.

According to the store's online list, each heavy block produced by the store's Kirkland Signature brand is "24 months old" and "imported from Italy".

While the economic benefits of the product can overwhelm even the most seasoned home cooks, Costco makes it easy to calculate that each book is worth $ 12.50.

As might be expected in all areas of cheese, the reviewers of Costco's official registration page have a lot to say about the charming piece of parmes.

"I bought this as a surprise for my son's wedding reception (he's a demon for the stuff). With the help of YouTube instructions, proper tools and his good friend, he and his brother opened the Parliament in front of family and friends, with applause and warm applause, "commented one commentator. "It was fun to watch and actually pretty good! The cheese is beautiful; fragrant and delicious. "

Others, meanwhile, were more skeptical.

"Not sure it's the real thing," said a critic. "That said, it's not bad and I used it in Alfredo sauce with great success."

"I had it as a gift, what am I supposed to do with all that cheese?" Asked another.

Beware, given the perishable nature of the product and its transit times on weekends, the Parmigiano Reggiano wheel only ships on Mondays and Wednesdays.
