A great deal of Parmesan...


Recommended Posts

Can anyone suggest anywhere in the UK I might find a lot of parmesan?

I need to arrange a photo shoot for an article on the stuff so UK importers, affineurs, retailers who keep a lot of it on accessible shelves would be great.

Any help greatly appreciated.

I would expect Neil's Yard in London...

You can call Mr Steven at The Teddington Cheese shop: 020 8977 6868

They have few lumps weighing few Kg each.

Or you can go direct to the importers:

Food House UK and contact Mr Bentsik (morning): 020 7263 9170 for a full wheel of Approx 35Kg.

You might ask him to rent you one for the shoot.

Leave me some crumbs for my morning roll. :cool:

You might be able to get parmesan for free by contacting the Consorzio per la Tutela del Formaggio Grana Padona (www.granopadano.it). They were exhibiting at La Dolce Vita at Olympia last week and have a UK PR (Emily Buckland at Weber Shandwick - ebuckland@webershandwick.com).

Thanks everyone,

That's fantastically useful. You've saved me a couple of days of phone bashing.
