Visit the Bank that Transacts in Cheese
Whether they're students or businesses, lots of people have to take out loans from the bank. For cheese farmers, there's a bank in Italy that will literally accept cheese as collateral for loans. This is the story of three men and millions of dollars worth of that proverbial cheddar.

As AvoidingCape said, it happened a few years ago. Some chefs (like Massimo Bottura of Osteria Francescana in Modena) banded together to utilize all the rice and cheese wheels affected by the earthquake. It helped sell the damaged cheese and, as a result, helped the producers. It was quite ingenious. culinaryseven.blogspot.tw/2016/03/when-massimo-bottura-saving-360000.html
