Crack Heard 'Round the World
3:00 pm
Some say breaking into a wheel of our Parmigiano Reggiano is like "cracking open happiness." There is a centuries-old art to opening the cheese wheel so that the internal crystalline structure with its characteristic crumbly texture is left intact. Each wheel is not only an expression of the cheese maker's dedication but part of the culinary history of the region itself. We will demonstrate the ancient art of cracking and sampling our hand-selected wheels of 24-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano as every Whole Foods Market cracks open a wheel of cheese! You were with us when we broke the Guinness Book of World Records back in 2008 so come back and help us honor this crowned jewel of cheeses.We'll have great Parm recipe ideas and samples before and after "The Crack."
