It was supposedly introduced on the East Coast this past summer but I never noticed it until a few days ago. Grate-It-Fresh Kraft Parmesan cheese comes inside its own disposable grater package. A 7 ounce block of "parmesan" cheese comes in a package where it rests on rotating grater so you can have that fresh grated Parmesan cheese experience. It's a great idea if only it was sold with real Italian Parmesan cheese, not Kraft's "American style" so-called "parmesan" which has much less aging time and flavor than the real deal from Italy. It's made with skim milk and the taste is comparable to termite droppings, yes termite droppings, because saying it tastes like sawdust would be an insult to deceased tress. This is pointed out in the many online reviews including this one from the Accidental Hedonist. I have to add that the price is $7.99 for 7 ounces. That comes out to $18.26 a pound. This is much more than the$11.99-16.99 a pound I pay for top of the line aged Parmesan. This is one product I give a hearty No Way In Hell! Unless you LIKE that over-priced, fake, grated cheese substitute in the green cardboard tube? Me, I'll take a hunk of 18-24 month old, imported Italian Parmesan Reggiano or Pecorino Romano cheese and grate it the old fashion way, by hand, and get all the taste of the real thing. That way I won't be adding more disposable containers to our landfills and also, No termite droppings for me.Posts with tag disposable
New Kraft Parmesan comes inside its own grater, too bad
