Parmigiano-Reggiano makers are putting edible microchips the size of a grain of sand into their 90-pound cheese wheels to combat counterfeiters::Italian Parmigiano-Reggiano makers are using microchips to verify the authenticity of their products and thwart scammers.
It’s not Parmigiana-Reggiano if it doesn’t come from the Parmigiana-Reggiano region of France. Everything else is just sparkling cheese.
It’s Italian. Parma and Reggio are two Italian cities.
That doesn’t sound right. Are you sure it’s not just all Italian France?
I am Italian and am pretty sure.

Even though somehow more people agree with you than with me, proving the point that it’s important to defend the trademark.
How would we know you are really Italian without scanning your microchip?
He was joking lol, he was talking about it like how people talk about champaign and sparkling wine 🤣
You’re not crazy, I was just fucking around. People aren’t agreeing with me, they recognize I’m joking, and they are probably downvoting you because you responded as though I was being serious.
There’s an old reference that Champagne isn’t Champagne unless it comes from the Champagne region of France. Otherwise it’s sparkling wine. It’s become a meme (although the joke predates the popular use of the term “meme”) to say X isn’t X unless yadda yadda sparkling Y. I left the bit about it being from France because I thought it would be funny to be confidently incorrect about that, like all of Europe is French.
I really didn’t know how much Italian cheese is known abroad. Usually the French specialties are more famous.
Woosh
Beautiful

Swiss cheese seems like it literally is sparkling cheese. The holes are the carbonation! 🤣
🤓
Ackshually…
The holes in the swiss cheese is due to contaminants and they’ve formalised the process because it turned out that their cleanliness standards removed too many contaminants.
(Sorry, I’m also a hit at parties)
Oh yes daddy, talk dirty cheese facts to me.
