"Crack Heard Round the World" - Parmigianino Reggiano Wheel Cracking
1:00 p.m. Free
Join us as Whole Foods Market's cheese mongers in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom will demonstrate the traditional method of breaking into 24-month-aged wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano using official tools (five different knives) from Italy's Consorzio del Formaggio Parmigiano Reggiano. The process of carving into and portioning each 85-pound wheel requires an expert hand and is usually done in about half an hour. In 2008, Guinness World Records confirmed that Whole Foods Market, in its first-ever attempt, set a record for "Most Parmigiano Reggiano Wheels Cracked Simultaneously," with nearly 300 wheels opened at 176 stores. Whole Foods Market hopes to break that record with this year's event. The ceremony will mark the grand finale to a month-long spotlight of Parmigiano Reggiano, which will honor the tradition behind the "king of cheese" and highlight its versatility. In addition to joining us in-store, we also invite you to participate in an online recipe contest for a chance to win a $500 shopping spree, authentic cheese knife sets and gift baskets. For one week, from February 3 through 10, you can submit an original recipes online on Whole Foods Market's Behind the Rind Web page (http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/products/behindtherind/) to share new and innovative ways to enjoy real, aged Parmigiano every day. More details available at: www.wholefoodsmarket.com.
