The EU has place of origin rules. Food products labeled as being made in a certain geographical region must be made and packaged there and only such products have the legal right to use the regional label in order to assure authenticity.
The real products tend to be of high quality and are priced accordingly.

Am I wrong that the EU allows Raw Milk cheese production and in the US you can only use milk that has been pasteurized to death?
If that is still true, they have a point.

As wine goes they have lots of allies, but they’re gonna find themselves provolone on this one.
To: DannyTN
If they have no way of enforcing it over here, it don’t mean Jack.

You’d have to change the name of nearly every cheese made in America except American cheese! And the Euros better not be making American cheese!

They can have all the European names but we get to keep the American ones. Like “Swiss”.

But as I said, without enforcement power this won’t mean Edam thing.
To: Red Badger
And we got a LOCK on “Velveeta”, Pierre, so git offn yer high horse.
To: luvbach1
Personally I wouldn’t be heartbroken if Americans stopped making American cheese.
To: Red Badger
This is also why you see a lot of formerly American Champagne being relabeled sparkling wine. While American manufacturers are free to ignore the EU directive (being as we are not part of the EU) most of the larger producers who export to the EU follow it anyway.
