Why is it so expensive?

The contemporary report describes a £26 white-truffle cheese and a £24 “ten-year-old parmesan”.
No current product pages, pack weights or combined selection were found.
Without weights, a like-for-like supermarket cheeseboard multiplier would be misleading and has been withdrawn.

Would we buy it?
