SPE said:Insane. The cheeses being referred to in this mooted trade agreement are older than the USA. They did not only become 'popular' after US makers started mass producing them. Remember, the US is country of immigrants, who would have imported the original from Europe anyway if they couldn't source it locally.
It is literally the opposite. The US makers have taken an established, high quality brand from another country/region, and are trading on its name.
Types of cheeses are brands?
