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.

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”.

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.

I come from a Greek family. I have been eating feta since I could swallow solid food. The best feta I ever had came from Bulgaria.

Lets see we should stop them from using all American invented items then. Put Europe back in the Middle Ages where they came from and seemingly long to be again.

I think I have a head cheese and so does my doctor. He said, “Colby in the morning.”

Ah, the f’in French and their “culture”. If an Italian guy with years of experience making cheese isn’t “European” enough, who is? This is just the latest attempt by the French anti-free traders to stifle competition.

Then they shouldn't be allowed to call their products "government cheese."

Next on the list to be banned by the EU are wieners, spaghetti, pizza and nom de plume.

The US needs to retaliate by banning the words computer, sex and okay in Europe.
