Sure why not? Add to the delicious medley of microplastics and persistent organic pollutants, what could go wrong!

Can't wait for the nutcases to come out of woodwork and claim this is a way to control the population 🙈

My Parmesan cheese comes from Wisconsin and I think it's good.

The more local cheese makers the better, as long as it does not call itself Parmigiano-Reggiano.

The COVID vaccines were a distraction; this is where the chips are really going

I wonder how close they are to realm parmesan, those counterfeited cheeses.

Parmigiano Reggiano is truly something special.

There exist (cheaper) cheeses made in a similar style, but no serious manufacturer will call it Parmigiano Reggiano, or even Parmesan. Usually have their own brand.

Or you can make your own https://youtu.be/s1k1w7SnNEY
