DARUSHIMO

[…] Ask the 7 crooks caught Friday night for breaking into a Parmigiano Reggiano curing house just outside of Reggio Emilia who tried to make off in two trucks and two cars with 460 wheels of the valuable stuff. Total value? A cool E.250,000.
What really gives the story its Italian twist however is that the curing house belongs to Credem, (Credito Emiliano), a small local coop bank that works closely with the area’s producers. A bank stockpiling cheese?! Oh how quaint… how Italian, right?
