Add-On Specifications

| Service formats | Per-kg cut-to-weight from wheel; full wheels on request; shaving/grating options on demand. |
| Rind usage | Save rinds to infuse stocks/soups/sauces; remove prior to service. |
| Chef tools | Microplane for fine “snow”; drum grater (medium) for higher coverage; wide peeler for elegant shaves. |
| Menu pairings | Pasta & risotto, soups, roasted veg, salads & antipasti; pairs with cured meats and peppery greens. |
| Shelf guidance | Keep well-wrapped and chilled; once opened, use within weeks for best aroma; trim surface if dry. |
