Food law is fascinating. You can probably find other examples, from the serious to the silly. Austria has retained the right to label certain foods with its own dialect words, which means sometimes our ingredients lists have three different terms for the same thing (standard German plus Swiss German too (such as Obers/Sahne/Rahm). Cheese must get pretty tricky though, especially with France next door! That was quite enlightening about the holes. Who'd have ever thought of the cause?

Fascinating, both with regard to the cheese-making and the interests of the governing authorities !
