Never heard of Comte et al so wouldn't miss those fancy pantsy cheeses. That said, as long as the customer knows it was made on wood then the government should back off. Same goes for kids’ lemonade stands. Our one and only grocery store carries the plastic Kraft stuff and the store brand of cheddar, mozzarella, colby and sometimes the plastic swiss. And velveeta and canned parm, if those are really cheese. It'd be nice to have more variety.

Fine cheese is an acquired taste.
Much like powerful hot sauce.
Or Asian fish sauce.
But the taste CAN be acquired.
And the appreciation crosses classes, at least in Europe.
Americans generally haven’t picked up on the art & science of it.
