Parmigiano Reggiano - expensive but worth it

[Torn Mind]

Picked up a little chunk at Whole Foods and while it cost $20 a pound, that cheese is some gooooood stuff.

Parmesan is tasty and lasts well. Worth the extra expense, especially if you're already doing the shaker version.

Parmigiano Reggiano, Whole Wheel (approximately 35-40 kilograms)

The king of cheeses PARMIGIANO REGGIANO is imported from the famous Parma and Reggio Emilia provinces in Italy. With all the Parmigiano Reggiano found in stores, you might wonder what makes ours at La BOTTEGA different. Honestly, we have a true passion for Parmigiano Reggiano! We source our...

A grand for the whole wheel.

I mean, it's not that expensive. If you can buy it at basically any food store it's probably not the arbitrarily expensive shit.

Now if you wanna experience some decadence, get you some of this:

Made in the traditional French style, Rodolphe Le Meunier Salted Butter is richly creamy, and intensely flavorful.

One of the best butters on the planet, shipped to your door. We order it a few lbs at a time and it's all we use for spreading. For cooking we still use whatever sticks we find at the store.

I recently got a French butter from wegmans. $20/lb, and absolutely worth it. I don't know what creamery it came from. It's "ButterBoy", but that's just a wegmans brand. They take it out of some kind of bulk package, and put it in a clamshell tub; weight varies. Great flavor with a distinct saltiness.
