Parmesan Cracking At Whole Foods Saturday

It has become an annual event, Whole Foods' gigantic simultaneous parmesan wheel cracking at many of its stores, generally accompanied by a big party. You could check with your local store for its particulars, but note that 3 pm EST below is 1 pm for us. Here's what they say:

The Mighty Wheel Crack

It takes 5 special knives, strength and expertise to cut open a huge, 85lb wheel of authentic Parmigiano Reggiano. Come witness this feat as we demonstrate this not-to-be-missed spectacle at Whole Foods Market stores across the US, Canada and the UK!

Check with your store for what they have planned but many will offer samples, entertainment, pairings and more! The crack happens on Saturday, March 8, at 3pm EST.
