“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. Naturally, U.S. dairy producers, cheesemakers and food companies who participate in the $4 billion industry are fighting the EU’s attempts to clamp down on its regional cheeses as they believe the U.S. popularized them.”
