“You never see something like this,” said Joe Nicastro, co-owner of Nicastro’s Italian Food Emporium.
Every year, the Nicastro brothers ship over a large provolone by a boat that travels from northern Italy, through to Toronto and into Ottawa.
Nicastro said it took nine people on Monday morning to offload the provolone, almost 12-feet long and worth around $18,000, from a truck and into his store. The store will chop it up and market it at a cost of roughly $18 per pound.

Trusting 4 plastic milk crates to support a 1,000+ pound load will ensure the cheese has plenty of time & opportunity to fall on you the wrong way.
Come to think of it, is there a RIGHT way for 1,000 pounds to fall on you?
