Mazarro's Mega-Cheese Is Record-Setting Import

Mazarro's has put on display a mega-block of cheese at the Italian grocery store, at 2909 22nd Ave. North.

This giant Italian Provolone is being described as the "largest cheese ever shipped to the United States." Let's hope size matters with the 1,100-pound cheese block, which will be sliced and sold in December 2014. First it needs to age!

Until then, the cheese is on display, standing 22 feet high, suspended from the store ceiling. Now that's a hunk.
