Let the hoarding begin....Just read an article that Parmesan cheese may increase in price as much as $1.50 to $2.00 a pound. Good Parm takes a while to age and mature and, back when it was being made, milk was difficult to come by bc of the virus. Now that that cheese is maturing (probably by spring), the price will probably increase. We tend to use quite a bit of Parm, usually Parmigiano-Reggiano. So yep, I'll be buying a few blocks next time we hit the grocery store. I'll grate it, then freeze it in one-cup portions, using our Food Saver. And freeze the rinds, too, for soup.
The Cost of Parmesan Might Go Up, So Grate and Sprinkle While You Can
If you’ve been in a grocery store lately, you’ve likely noticed the cost of food has increased over the last year. Unfortunately, a popular cheese is about to meet the same fate. Make your pasta now, cheeseheads, because Parmesan is about to get pricy.
