Sigh... unzips pants

These images are almost perfectly arousing, they just need to get rid of the lady and I’ll be at full mast

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.

Would be a shame not to share that cheese with the world. In the states I've seen full wheels go for about $1k.

Time to buy some swiss cheese

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.
