According to the Costco description:

This extravagant blend of old world cheese making and unrivaled quality fuse to create a delicate and savory rich full flavor that has made Parmigiano Reggiano world renowned and an immediate favorite to those who try it. In addition to being eaten alone, shredded or grated Parmigiano Reggiano transforms any pasta, soup or salad into an exquisite gourmet experience.

Think of all the amazing dishes you could create if you had 72 pounds of cheese waiting in your fridge. Or just walking into the kitchen and slicing a chunk of cheese right off the wheel.  

Costco calls this cheese, “the apex of Italian cheese making and a symbol of Italian culture and civilization.” What sounds better than that? Should 72 pounds of cheese be a little on the high side, don’t worry.  Costco also offers 20 and 50-pound cheese wheels that might actually fit in your fridge.
