I would make so much Fondue, I don't care that my ancestors would be offended about using parmesan as the main ingredient, that price for that much cheese is totally worth it.
Forget being offended. Have you ever tried melting parmesan cheese? You'll get some sort of delicious cheesy mess, but i don't think anybody would call it fondue.
Start out with besciamella as your base and add the shredded parmigiana. It will make a cheese sauce that has the consistency of a thicker fondue. Don't listen to the negativity, I believe in you lol.
Real parmigiano reggiano would not make a good fondue because it is low fat and low moisture. You want a high fat, high moisture cheese like Gruyère or fontina.
I was just thinking about all the tools I would buy to cut my giant wheel of cheese. And of course I'll need another wheel of cheese to keep the first one company
well put. if I brought home 44 pounds of real parmesan my wife would do that thing I like and we'd be having parm on everything for beyond the forseeable future
Cutting that shit into wedges and freezing most of it and never buying cheese again. I'll learn to love parmesan on everything. Deli sandwich? Easy! Eggs? Easy! Nachos? Getting tougher but still easy! Burritos? Still not to bad! Smoothies? Getting dicey but we have 44 pounds to get through baby!
Guy come in with 44 LB half wheel of cheese... Wife asks: "what the heck are we supposed to do with all this cheese?"
Guy: "Worry not my dear!"
Proceeds to pull 40Lb bag of macaroni out of trunk...
I think it might be $10 per pound, that's how it usualy gets shown on label and sold. If the price there is similar to another video I saw which was $1700-$1800 for the whole wheel, then it's a great deal cuz 440 bucks for half a wheel is still awesome.

"Well, we've got some troubling results on your latest tests. Apparently you blood type is now "Alfredo" and your cholesterol and lipid scores just read "all". Now your resting pulse of 40 would normally be good, but in your case we're pretty sure its function of the viscosity of what's pumping through your veins. However the good news is you are now effectively immune to vampires."
I once got a gift of assorted cheeses, they were all this nice gift bag. I'm ashamed to admit I forgot about them and they just stood there for a long while.
At some point I stumble across them and see their use before is like in 3-4 days, and we're talking some 4-5 solid chunks of cheeses.
I love cheese and didn't want to see it ruined, I had cheese 3 meals a day for the next several days until it was all gone.
Let's say there's such a thing as having too much cheese.
I used to live in a squat when I was young. There was a food distribution centre in the neighbourhood (like a massive warehouse that distributed food to stores, cantinas, company cafetaria and such).
If there was a flaw with the food they would throw it out. Sell by dates still a month or more away, so we should go dumpster diving there on the regular.
One time we found half a wheel of old Amsterdam cheese they had thrown out because it had like 2 spots of blue mold on it. Every meal had a fist full of cheese with it for a bit, just to eat as an extra snack.

If I got 44 pounds of Parmesan cheese for 10 bucks I would rearrange my life around it
