Cheese wheels on wheels

Thousands of shekels are riding on these little blue wheels. Click on the photo and read the writing on the rind. Parmigiano-Reggiano 2006 !
The stack of huge cheese wheels caught my eye and I entered the fancy cheese and wine store in the shuk Mahaneh Yehuda market. Photos were all I got, the rest was way too expensive.
They offer cheeses from around the world in a mind-boggling variety. It is exciting just to see them.

Cheesemaking is such an art and such hard and satisfying work. This I know from working a year and a half in the cheese dairy of a sheep farm. Cheese, yogurt, and just plain rich milk from sheep are the best!

  3. Delicious! I am fond of cheese, all kind of cheese. What a shop! One of my ex pupils sells cheese at the market. Goat's cheese,mature or semi mature cheese, Brie, Paturain and many other French cheeses. I teased him, saying that he was the best cheese trader of all the Netherlands.
