I have so much envy for you right now. I'm an Italian living in the northeast of Italy. I love Tête de Moine, but I cannot find a place selling it at decent prices..

It always has a ridiculous "luxury" tax, ending up above 50€/kg, which is absurd for Italy...

I was going to call this price completely crazy for anywhere, then realized I pay $40/kg for Parmigiana-Reggiano, but that seems justified since it’s coming all the way from Italy to Kansas. Seems like intra-EU cheese should be more affordable!

Here parmigiano reggiano prices range from 16€/kg (12 months old, and on offer) to well above 30€/kg (24 months old and beyond).

...I'm guilty of using too much of it... it often also is my go to snack during late night fridge peeping... but hey, there are worse (and costlier) habits to entertain
