EU May Ban American Cheese From Using European Names
The European Union and the U.S. government are locked in trade talks over cheese — specifically, varieties such as Gorgonzola, feta, Muenster and Parmesan.
The EU wants to ban the use of European names for American-made cheeses as they cut into the sales and identity of the original, European cheeses. The EU argues that "Parmesan" should be used only for cheeses made in Parma, Italy. And while "feta" isn't a place in Greece, the cheese is so uniquely tied to a Greek identity that the EU argues only cheese from that country should be distinguished with the name.
