Thanks for posting this interesting article.
All of these changes to traditional artisanal methods of production are being forced on France by the EU; to conform to standards set in Brussels.
Cheese is part of France’s heritage and culture. Most other countries in the EU do not share this cultural tradition, and want a standardized product they can control.
The EU is also planning to ban many French and American cosmetics, made with “toxic materials”. The goal of the EU is to eliminate France and the US from the cosmetics market that they dominate.
That is just a small example of what happens when people surrender their National Sovereignty to bureacrats.
I realize tyhat it isn't a traditional British specialty - but every restaurant in London and south blamed their lousy hamburgers on the EU.
In keeping with a discussion of fried hockey pucks - how about them Ducks!
Sounds like the problem could be averted by bacteriological testing of each batch of the raw milk which is intended for cheese making. If found unsuitable for use raw it could be made into a pasteurized product.
