Seems like the vultures got there first, as according to the guy today, it was already sold out!!! One day after the promotion started. Perhaps their marketing/ordering dept should get it together better. Talking to the wife in Thailand today, it is easily available there, as are so many other things like Oxo etc. Wonder when Italy will get into the real world of other foodstuffs readily available at uninflated prices.

Re: "when Italy will get into the real world of other foodstuffs readily available at uninflated prices." .........I too am amazed at the cost of these things, I understand that the locals will not buy them because they don't want them, but there are times when one feels that prices are indeed inflated. But I'm not sure how much (for instance) Cheddar Cheese(!!) costs in the UK anymore? Having said that...........there are very few things that I miss/need from old blighty, S

"........... cheddar is really good. Ive now got 10 packs in the fridge to see me through the winter ....." If you want to keep it beyond the sell by date - Cheddar freezes well - it may be a bit more crumbly when thawed out, but that's all I used to use it as freezer packs in the cool box when driving down from the UK
Try COAL's cheese
Submitted by sprostoni on Thu, 11/18/2010 - 12:49There is a VERY similar tasting PRE-PACKED cheese at COAL shops(and also Eurospin) ..........our COAL normally stocks it in the refridgerated shelves. It is semi circular in shape and usually about 1 to 3 cms thick. It grates well, toasts very well (as I think it is cows cheese rather than sheeps (?)), and with a bit of raw onion it makes a fine cheese and onion sandwich! It is called: Provolone Valpadana D.O.P. Piccante YUM YUM ! S
