Parmigiano-Reggiano Butter — Episode 2: Sighting at Whole Foods

Alene, one of my legion of superb bleeding-edge researchers, just reported that she purchased this elusive (I use this word because back on March 31, 2005, when Episode 1 appeared here, it was only available in Italy and New York City) butter at her local Whole Foods.

Her bulletin, just in, follows; note that, as always, not one word has been omitted.

At bookofjoe you get what you pay for.

But I digress.

Alene's comment:

This butter has made an appearance at Whole Foods. This should make the butter available in a large part of the USA. It is delicious and distinctive, but I bought it because it has an unusually high level of vitamin A (listed as 13% compared to the usual 6-7% of most other commercial butters).

You can bet your bottom yuan that on my next excursion up 29 North to Whole Foods, I'll be looking for this buttah.
