"The Big Cheese"

When you think of a cheese wheel, you might think of the ones from those Cheez-It commercials. Perfect, round cheeses. However, imagine a whole bunch of those combined into one giant 4,600lb, 6-foot wheel of cheese dubbed The Big Cheese at Horrocks Farm Market in Lansing.

The cheese is from Wisconsin and is a 1 year aged sharp cheddar. You can get a piece for $6.99/lb. This massive wheel of cheese is a yearly staple at the Horrocks Farm Market.
