      Jokes aside, how are they allowed to sell it and call it feta? Don’t the Greeks have the same deal as we do with Halloumi?

      I see ‘halloum’ at the grocery store made in Canada (where I live) but they can’t say it’s halloumi.

      I buy tre Stelle cheese co bc they import it from CY. It’s the real deal. Or we get from a giagia who makes it in Quebec.

      It’s Trader Joe’s in America. The USA is not following the EU PDO, PGI, or TSG regulation. So they can do whatever the fuck they want.

      But this does not mean that US manufacturers can sell these goods in the EU, so we good.

      Funnily enough, while checking whether the US participates in the EU regulation, i found this hilarious bit of American propaganda on the topic.

      There will be a second front if they try to pull it off with halloumi

      First you get the halloumi, then you get the power, then you get the shiksas

      I believe feta is not protected origin food, and they are very honest about origin, so I don’t see the problem here.

      E.g. Cyprus produces kefir and no one is complaining.
