Italian Cheese Bailout

This is one of my favorite cheeses. I wish I were a charity. Maybe they would send a wheel of this wonderful cheese my way!

"In an effort to help producers of the cheese commonly grated over spaghetti, fettuccine and other pastas, the Italian government is buying 100,000 wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano and donating them to charity.

Though demand for parmigiano is strong in Italy and abroad, producers have been struggling for years to make money, putting the future of Italy's favorite cheese at risk."
