As italian, I am happy to tell you guys that the man who cut the cheese is really professional and did every single step in a perfect way! This man deserves a medal! Respect!
I am from Parma, Italy, where culinary culture is of paramount importance and presence daily. I believe every kid from Parma (at least, when I was a kid) has had a chance to visit a Parmigiano production site. The cows are literally fed and milked 10 meters away from where the process for making the cheese starts. Parmigiano makers from my area dedicate their lives to this, and they say it’s worth it. The way they make and store the cheese for years is just so natural, and the cows are treated excellently, they get fed the best food for their diet and are much more free than the cows bred for beef (or Prosciutto di Parma). A wheel of 48 months here would cost much less, but the price is still justifiably high, the work and passion behind a wheel is what makes it unique
I see those at most grocery stores I go to. I’ve never experienced a time where they actually cut into one and sell them. I now have to add that to the list of things to do! I bet it taste amazing after all of those years or months of aging. Sorry, I’m not familiar with the time and process for the cheese.
I used to work in Kroger in the Murray's cheese shop. It really takes skills to do this. People liked to watch you work on them. They always thought that the whole wheels were fake but we always showed them that they are real.
My local Kroger cheesemongers used to sell the Parmesan bones since they split the wheels at the store. My daughter still asks me to get them for her, but sadly Kroger suits decided splitting needs to be centralized, so no more bones.
Nice, we never did it at our store. But we were really small and our bakery and deli department was merged together and there were usually only one or two of us working at a time.
@@poofygoof Just some inside info, Kroger bought out Murray's cheese. Murray's only kept 1 store in Grand Central Station. I saw things changing and made my decision to leave after years with them. Now it is definitely being run bu the "suits". Those little things like cracking wheels and selling the rinds are gone.
It’s really cool he let the kids come in first, really tried to give them a big piece. Some day those kids will remember that moment and think I should’ve grabbed the big one!
I used to do this at Wegmans every month. Those parm wheels easily weighed about 100lbs. It was a workout doing these demos, but it was hella fun too. Also, NOTHING goes to waste. We would have to cut it down into $8 triangle pieces and the remaning shards would be grounded in a machine. The rinds would sell like hotcakes too (for soups and sauces of course).
Did the same thing at the cheese shop I worked at in jungle Jim's. Was the only one to do it because of how much it weighed. But we had the same process as scoring the outer layer to make it easier to get through with our wire cutter.
The biggest thing I noticed was the courtesy and polite manners of everyone in this video. Notice the cheese tray helper said, oh I'm sorry I'm in your way. And the guy filming didn't want to take the biggest chunk. A breath of fresh air
This video was almost certainly filmed in Fortinos, an Italian-Canadian grocery store. You're basically seeing Canadians going shopping, which explains the manners.
It's interesting how artists are living among us doing things as seemingly trivial as opening cheeses. Make no mistake, this man is an artist. Beautiful process, amazing craftsmanship. Kudos for the camera work, too: very focused and clean. I like how there's a sort of reverence at the supermarket for such a moment. It's the little things (and big cheeses) indeed.
When I lived in Italia, in la Citta di Lucca, we would buy fomaggio Pamigiano-Reggiano in chunks, and leave it on the table during the days. When we wanted to use we'd simply grab it, take a grater and grate it over spaghetti, or soup or what ever. Totally awesome!
@@MrJB8383 a wheel of parmigiano reggiano is atleast 800$ and if it's from Italy it's gonna be atleast 1000$ not only it's price but the way it's made is a super detailed process too my guy
@@MrJB8383 Well « just cheese »… it is more than just cheese it is all the process that is done to produce such tasty products if you only had American cheddar it is time for you to taste a bit of European cheese as it is not because it is written Swiss cheese as it is on many products that it is actually Swiss. France, Italy, Switzerland and quiet a few other countries are producing lots of tasty products cheese included…
What a polite person you are. I kept thinking "oh look at that big chunk, someone won't even think twice..." but you did. Think twice that is. So much goes into the making of this heavenly food, I love they have a process for cracking. It reminds me of watching them split/crack marble or granite. Thank you for sharing. And for sharing that chunk, lol.
I worked in a grocery store in the department right next to the deli and I watched someone spend 5 hours trying to crack open, separate, and divide a wheel of parm into manageable slices... and this guy did it in minutes. I’m very impressed
@@qbiz4292 yeah I know for a fact the deli workers were never trained on how to do it (and I’m fairly certain they weren’t given the proper tools either) I also was called in to assist sometimes when they had to crack open a new one. It was like a whole shift deal, they scheduled an extra person just to do it. Crazy how a little bit of training would have saved so much
@@awkwardsity I worked at Wholefoods in the charcuterie and was NEVER taught how to properly do anything I was suppose to do...and thats at WHOLE FOODS....which I'm pretty sure thats where they are based on the signage and decor. This guy was sent FROM the manufacture to do this showcase in the store, he doesn't work there, not with that talent! Damn those kids are lucky tho!
The knife used for first has like a cutting hook on the top. After cutting the external part you just have to insert those knives to make it divide by itself. It is easy.
I have four kids, adults now, when they were young two would be in the cart. When we walked into our neighbourhood grocery store the cheese and deli section was close, to distract them and set the mood, I would wheel them over to the wheel of Parmigiano and slap it. They would squeal with delight. "Daddy? Can we slap the big cheese?" Their enthusiasm made my heart melt. Thanks for the video.
I find very fascinating the fact that a person cutting a cheese can bring random people together. There you are, walking by in that place, and you see an employee taking a big wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano and starting to cut it. You, as many others in the premises, stop by to witness such a satisfying moment. Suddenly, there's no race or age dividing each other, we're all equally enjoying the process and marveling at it. A complete stranger passes by with a tray offering cheese, and you don't think twice to grab a piece, because it's part of the moment too. In the end, we all awe and cheer at the broken cheese. Cheese brings people together. Except the lactose intolerant ones. I feel sorry for you guys. EDIT: as some have said, even lactose intolerant people can enjoy so, even better! 😊

What an impressive demonstration on how to break down a Parma wheel. I grew up in my teens in Italy. Back then, we could buy a kilo of parm for $5.00 at our local outdoor market. Parma doesn’t have any competition because no one can produce the quality and flavor profile. As a cook, there is no other cheese to use for pasta dishes.
>What an impressive demonstration on how to break down a Parma wheel. Are you sure? Wouldn't a cheese wire have been a lot easier and it would cut the cheese perfectly flat.
@@edjarrett3164 No, I was supposed to immigrate to Italy to start a new job in a parma cheese factory but I got my foot stuck in a drain and missed my flight. >A cheese wire, really? Sure, why not?
@@KaitouKaiju How do you think they cut it up in order to sell to supermarkets? Not like this, that's for sure. Anyway, I searched it, it's called the Cheese Cutter Parmesan Pro, believe it or not.
One of my first real kitchen jobs and holy cannoli, it is a freaking workout cracking one of those babies open!!! The aroma is incredible and tasting all the crumbs that come from it are a real treat!
I used to work for this company and have done this before, it’s a workout but it was worth it back in the days before the pandemic. It brought people together, everyone was excited, and I would spend most of my shift handing out samples.
This video is full of wholesome, pre-covid days with no masks, kids with manners taking small pieces, appreciation through clapping. Who knew cheese could restore humanity like this. 🥺♥️
@@bobs3354 interesting. While I think it was a good demonstration, I wouldn’t applaud a cow being successfully milked, a tree felled or a painting finished. Doesn’t seem right to me, but I confess their is merit to your opinion
I have been a chef for many years and working lots of fine dining establishments and I have actually had to do this before this is an extremely hard cheese to cut open!!!
I used to help break these wheels up when I worked in the Appy at Shoprite. It takes a lot of hard work and strength. They are really heavy also. The cheese is so delicious
…as i sit here eating shaved Parmesan straight from the container and salivating Ohhh my goooddddd I love cheese … like way too much…. Absolutely love a good pungent blue cheese (roaring 40s preferably)….Gouda…Parmesan… Thank you for posting this
I”m enjoying the fact that there are no masks, none of the social distancing, no anger or fear...just people enjoying a demonstration of how to open a block of premium, aged cheese.
@@albi8016 its certainly more than italy, but its not hugely expensive elsewhere either. People see $1300 in the title and forget just how many shop portions of cheese are in a wheel
What I also like about this video is how the guy with the camera behave politely. He didn’t get mad at that lady that was working passing in front of the cam. He did wait for the kids to get their pieces, even though he was very excited. Thats respect
Its in Canada, either a Superstore or Fortinos. The one lady there is drinking a coffee/tea from Tim Hortons. Canadian shopping is a lot less wild than what I’ve seen going shopping in the US with my wife. I miss it lol
I work in a deli and when i saw the chick with the sample tray, i panicked because if i get caught giving samples, i get fired. Then i realized no one was wearing masks and this video is 3 years old lmaooo
@@rutekrutkowski7640 if you read my initial post it said “I would like to buy parmigiano reggiano sweatpants”. It did not say “he is wearing parmigiano reggiano sweatpants”.
Jeeze! Gorgeous cheese. I could barely contain myself when I saw the money-shot! Excellent technique and well done on handling such a big, large cheese
I worked for wholefoods for years and they'd always make the cracking of the new parm wheel a big thing. They'd announce it and people would gather around to watch.
It kinda is pretty important, one wheel can range up to prices in the three thousands! That’s a lot for a wheel of cheese if you think about it but the stuff is amazing quality.
@@CriticalSurvival0 I can't disagree, but it's just crazy when you consider how many penny pinching miser type companies there are these days. Not something you'd expect.
@@PawsumGaming I know what you mean. Many companies will throw things away instead of donating them. Everything has to have a monetary value in this corporate world.
Me: I should really go to bed early tonight, going to be a long day tomorrow. Me at 2am: Wow... so that's the correct way to crack open a 1300 cheese wheel... nice.
Areggiano is specific to a certain region.. has to do with the organisms or something that only thrives in that specific area. So when the (I believe cow) eats it it alters the milk slightly making it what it is. Hence why it's so expensive. That piece of clothing you can probably find in that region or at least items with the brand.
Oh. My bad it sort of blended in to me. All.of a sudden I had visions of my 3 uncles walking down the street with their exclusive Parmigiano Reggiano track suits...one holding a jar of sauce and the other a loaf of scali bread and of course the 3rd holding the cheese...oh well
Even though im vegietarian and would not eat that due to animal rennet. I am so glad the children are seen to appreciate where there food comes from and how much effirt it takes x
RUclips/Google knows me so well that it suggests me totally random stuff that I would never search for, but that I actually enjoy, it’s kinda weird/scary
I think algo watches for what is shown in videos you watch, in general. I was on an Indian street food schtick for past few weeks, which involves a lot of footage of food preparation, etc. Maybe you were watching food prep related videos as of late as well?
STFU, The camera man could have had a terrible mother but a really good dad or sibling that helped raise him, or this guy could just be nice because he wants to be not because his mom raised him, this guy could also have been an orphan
I've been dating my GF for a very long time now, but I'm pretty sure I could never compete with a guy like this handling 1000+ dollars worth of cheese.
they're really well educated. Also it's a really strong and salty cheese, usually eaten grated. Best mixed with egg yolk to make a Carbonara "cremina". So tasteful
All the people who say it's a very strong cheese are weak and scared of the power of cheese. I eat parmigiano cheese at chunks whenever I can. And I did even more when I was a kid. Those kids are just weak.
History is mostly a forgotten past, cars are now owned by the Germans or shared with the Americans... Italy used to be quite a great place but that's not the case anymore, unfortunately.

In Italy we say "the best piece is the one near the crust"
All thanks to the glorious algorithm who has blessed us with this bountiful clip.
I'm italian and i eat it everyday....like on pasta, or alone lmao.
Parmiggiano reggiano is definitely one of the greatest.
Especially the salty flavor crystals. Om nom nom

Best viewing today! My wife and I both love this video, especially as a viable alternative to other current events not so appetizing.
What's blowing my mind is that you did not have more than 12 people around this guy but this video passed 2.5M views
Wow today it's 7.2 M views !!!
Ikr!
7.8M
Its cheesy to watch in public
Its 8m now
It’s cool seeing someone enjoy their job like this and naturally spreading joy in return. ❤️
If grocery stores did this in my area, I would immediately buy some of that cheese
Proof of Freshness
I guess that is the idea
Kroger’s Murray’s cheese does that.
Events ... are an excuse for people to grab the unsold cheese with their filthy mitts.
@@padraigtomas3617 right now they can’t sample with the virus
What an impressive demonstration on how to break down a Parma wheel. I grew up in my teens in Italy. Back then, we could buy a kilo of parm for $5.00 at our local outdoor market. Parma doesn’t have any competition because no one can produce the quality and flavor profile. As a cook, there is no other cheese to use for pasta dishes.
>What an impressive demonstration on how to break down a Parma wheel.
Are you sure? Wouldn't a cheese wire have been a lot easier and it would cut the cheese perfectly flat.
@@fredjimbob2962 I guess you never worked a a 40k wheel of cheese. And you don’t know the characteristics of Parma. A cheese wire, really?
@@edjarrett3164 No, I was supposed to immigrate to Italy to start a new job in a parma cheese factory but I got my foot stuck in a drain and missed my flight.
>A cheese wire, really?
Sure, why not?
@@fredjimbob2962 Do you see how hard this wheel is? A cheese wire ain't doing a goddamn thing to it.
@@KaitouKaiju How do you think they cut it up in order to sell to supermarkets? Not like this, that's for sure. Anyway, I searched it, it's called the Cheese Cutter Parmesan Pro, believe it or not.
The absolute best cheese.Worth every penny.
I can't even get it home. If I buy a piece I eat it in the car.
for you the parmigiano in best cheese, you have to try pecorino's cheese. bye from italy
@Donielle Stenson that's right. Number one.
Is not thr only one type of cheese, u must come in vacation in Italy and taste many kinds of cheese

Oh my god big same. I shouldn't eat cheese because I'm lactose intolerant but like 👀👀👀
Me too! I'd be cutting cheese (the other way) 😏after having too many bites of this.
@@grimumumirke but hard cheese like parmigiano is basically lactose free (or at least very very low) so no Problems here.
reggiano is delicious and expensive
One of my first real kitchen jobs and holy cannoli, it is a freaking workout cracking one of those babies open!!! The aroma is incredible and tasting all the crumbs that come from it are a real treat!
I used to work for this company and have done this before, it’s a workout but it was worth it back in the days before the pandemic. It brought people together, everyone was excited, and I would spend most of my shift handing out samples.
This video is full of wholesome, pre-covid days with no masks, kids with manners taking small pieces, appreciation through clapping. Who knew cheese could restore humanity like this. 🥺♥️
Really puts your mind at cheese
Someone cut a wheel of cheese to restore humanity to the way it was please!
@Pilot16H could you not
What's wrong with clapping? 😅
That one person who clapped is a saint and should be protected
Interesting. I thought it was quite annoying. Why clap at all outside of theater or presentation?

@@tomhanks7873 I think this is a presentation and quite a good one.
@@bobs3354 interesting. While I think it was a good demonstration, I wouldn’t applaud a cow being successfully milked, a tree felled or a painting finished. Doesn’t seem right to me, but I confess their is merit to your opinion

Even the cheese cutting can be an art. Beautiful. This is the finest cheese I ever had.

Wife: Men!

Kinda boomer humour.

Hah! Yes...yes you could.🤔 Think Ill settle for about a $12 chunk.
Lmao good one
🤣🤣🤣 I laughed way to hard at 1am!! This comment is golden!!!👍👍👍👍👍🤣🤣
Back then people who got a cheese wheel were called "the big cheese" ... because only the rich people had the money to buy the big cheese wheel.
“Leave the wheel this time, cheesemonger,” he said in a cheese-drunk voice, raspy and as salty as the parmesan reggiano crumbs stuck in his beard.
This is going to blow up in a few years
Maybe months or even days
Proof I was here

A few years later…
@@tsosieconnor the cheese wheel guy will be famous if it does.
This is really such a simple video, yet so entertaining!
I have been a chef for many years and working lots of fine dining establishments and I have actually had to do this before this is an extremely hard cheese to cut open!!!
Do you know how heavy those blocks are?
@@charlotteharing3247 easily 80+ lbs
Wouldn't a butchers band saw work ?? Not as artistic but
I think a butcher’s band saw would jam up right?
Yep it would jam up unless you kept it very cold. This is the most common way in my experience. Just really hard to do.

Look how much fun everyone is having from something so simple!! Cheese baby 😍
I used to help break these wheels up when I worked in the Appy at Shoprite. It takes a lot of hard work and strength. They are really heavy also. The cheese is so delicious

Because good cheese is worth the experience.

Awws
That's exactly how my cheese merchant got me addicted when I was a kid. Giving me a freshly cut piece of delicious cheese.
I”m enjoying the fact that there are no masks, none of the social distancing, no anger or fear...just people enjoying a demonstration of how to open a block of premium, aged cheese.
Don't forget to enjoy covid when you're done

Tough one. Dairylea triangle or this...
Think I will go with the Reggiano. Absolute class - cracking a wheel is the mark of a master craftsman
I never thought *this* would be one of the more wholesome videos I’ve seen
“Man Opens 1300+ Cheese” everyone proceeding to take small pieces that are probably worth 5 dollars.
True
Here in Italy it’s actually not that expensive
@@albi8016 its certainly more than italy, but its not hugely expensive elsewhere either. People see $1300 in the title and forget just how many shop portions of cheese are in a wheel
@@fawncashew according to my calculations, each kilogram costs 35 dollars
@@andres-5748 seems fair. That's like 3.50 for a 100g piece
What I also like about this video is how the guy with the camera behave politely. He didn’t get mad at that lady that was working passing in front of the cam. He did wait for the kids to get their pieces, even though he was very excited. Thats respect
Its in Canada, either a Superstore or Fortinos. The one lady there is drinking a coffee/tea from Tim Hortons. Canadian shopping is a lot less wild than what I’ve seen going shopping in the US with my wife. I miss it lol
@@TheCanadian6197 Could be Co-op too. Co-op is a grocery store in western Canada. They bring stuff in and do displays like this from time to time.
That’s AWSOME… very cool and so generous to the kiddos and everyone. I would have bought some of that very high quality cheese. Very Cool…
I thought about cheese crackin' school but my parents talked me out of it. Dammit, that could've been me getting that single appreciative clap...
Dont count yourself short. I am sure you could have gotten 2 claps.
You can give your self an appreciative clap. Don't let your dreams be dreams.
I work in a deli and when i saw the chick with the sample tray, i panicked because if i get caught giving samples, i get fired. Then i realized no one was wearing masks and this video is 3 years old lmaooo

You make it sound like giving out free samples is a rogue system implemented behind upper management. Lol
I would like to buy some “parmigiano reggiano” sweatpants.
Pretty sure that's an apron
@@rutekrutkowski7640 nope sweatpants already placed my order along with the men’s footie pajamas with trap door!

Can you imagine the swag you would have walking into the All Of Garden with a parmigiana reggiano sweatsuit?
Jeeze! Gorgeous cheese. I could barely contain myself when I saw the money-shot! Excellent technique and well done on handling such a big, large cheese
I worked for wholefoods for years and they'd always make the cracking of the new parm wheel a big thing. They'd announce it and people would gather around to watch.
It kinda is pretty important, one wheel can range up to prices in the three thousands! That’s a lot for a wheel of cheese if you think about it but the stuff is amazing quality.
@@MrToasterWaffles wish i saw that at my local hyvee
Man he's like just giving out $50 shards of cheese.
Thats what i thought but its probably closer to 5 or 10 dollars for the bigger chunks falling off.
@@CriticalSurvival0 that's still quite a bit for a shard of cheese.
@@PawsumGaming what is a few dollars compared to a good relatioship with your customer. Its a nice thing to display and share
@@CriticalSurvival0 I can't disagree, but it's just crazy when you consider how many penny pinching miser type companies there are these days. Not something you'd expect.
@@PawsumGaming I know what you mean. Many companies will throw things away instead of donating them. Everything has to have a monetary value in this corporate world.
That guy is a master at cutting the cheese.
There is no denying it, He really did cut the cheese.
@@scotfirehamer4247 under rated response
I mean to cut the Parmigiano here in Italy you need to have a license if I say correctly
Did he have to learn how to cut the cheese at a trade school?
@@habbadabbado5765 I think so or at least that's what some rumors say I don't know if it's true

7 minutes well spent
Yeah, can you believe it…?

@@thefuzzman There it is! I was looking for one like this!!
🤣👍
Me too
He has a parm track suit. Where can you buy that.
Lol. Looks like an apron to me.
yea, it's just the apron.
Areggiano is specific to a certain region.. has to do with the organisms or something that only thrives in that specific area. So when the (I believe cow) eats it it alters the milk slightly making it what it is. Hence why it's so expensive. That piece of clothing you can probably find in that region or at least items with the brand.
Oh. My bad it sort of blended in to me.
All.of a sudden I had visions of my 3 uncles walking down the street with their exclusive Parmigiano Reggiano track suits...one holding a jar of sauce and the other a loaf of scali bread and of course the 3rd holding the cheese...oh well
Be a curd nerd and get a job at murray's
GF: what are you watching?
ME: I'm watching a guy cut the cheese.
This is such an underrated comment💀💀
I had the same thought. Said to myself:$1300 ?? My husband cuts the cheese all the time at no charge. 😂
@@todayisthedayofsalvation6925 its the cost for Parmigiano non the ammounte of money the guy gets for cutting it
@@thunderking1427 in English, to "cut the cheese" is a slang term for farting
Even though im vegietarian and would not eat that due to animal rennet. I am so glad the children are seen to appreciate where there food comes from and how much effirt it takes x
RUclips/Google knows me so well that it suggests me totally random stuff that I would never search for, but that I actually enjoy, it’s kinda weird/scary
@No Name humans like cheese. It's in our nature
I think algo watches for what is shown in videos you watch, in general. I was on an Indian street food schtick for past few weeks, which involves a lot of footage of food preparation, etc. Maybe you were watching food prep related videos as of late as well?
@@dastaff1889 actually i did watch a video on mushroom food
Your Mother raised you right not to take that huge piece that we ALL wanted to take. This made me hungry.
STFU, The camera man could have had a terrible mother but a really good dad or sibling that helped raise him, or this guy could just be nice because he wants to be not because his mom raised him, this guy could also have been an orphan
I've been dating my GF for a very long time now, but I'm pretty sure I could never compete with a guy like this handling 1000+ dollars worth of cheese.

Me: Wondering why the children didn’t take the biggest chunk of cheese.
They're very polite and we'll educated
I would say almost zero kids on earth want to eat a big chunk of parm. I know I don't
I don't think kids like parmigiano that much
they're really well educated. Also it's a really strong and salty cheese, usually eaten grated. Best mixed with egg yolk to make a Carbonara "cremina". So tasteful
All the people who say it's a very strong cheese are weak and scared of the power of cheese. I eat parmigiano cheese at chunks whenever I can. And I did even more when I was a kid. Those kids are just weak.
Italy make, have so many great things from cars to food to wine to history. Such a diverse range, amazing 👏
Fashion....design...😉
History is mostly a forgotten past, cars are now owned by the Germans or shared with the Americans... Italy used to be quite a great place but that's not the case anymore, unfortunately.
Dude's living in the past. Italy's a disgusting shithole.
Cars, Food, Fashion, Wine, industrial machines, the International Space Station
@@djo-dji6018 hmm, I don't agree. Yeh, things have gone down, but that's all over! Italy still export engineering more thrn importing, something with England or France do not do!
Tge problem either Italy us corruption and Mafia, yet they are still on the you 7 economies in tge World.
Financiers are the oldest ship Yard in Europe and build done of the biggest ships in the world and now have the contract to build tge frigates for the USA, not England, France, Germany etc.
So, can you see why I do nit agree😉
Watching a cheese video with the guy cutting it speaking in a thick midwestern accent is just *chefs kiss*
Opened RUclips expecting to watch call of duty videos and ended up watching this. I feel strangely satisfied...
You know for sure that this is not in Italy when the representative asks the child if he wants a piece of parmigiano and he says no
Accent sounds like northern USA with slight Canadian twang.
Maine or Minnesota?
@@sammencia7945 Good catch on the accent.
Based on the layout and branding of the store I can tell it's a Fortinos location, which is a supermarket chain in the Toronto-Hamilton area of southern Ontario.
Always be afraid of people who don't like parmigiano reggiano
what a disgrace.
Looks fantastic
Hail to the king of cheese, his majesty the Parmigiano Reggiano
