Please, login for more Paul 2025/07/22 21:21 I am not a scientist so my words here might very well be ignorant. But it seems to me that consuming anything not pasteurized is not always safe to do. Why not just pasteurize all dairy products? Before you say "costs" yes, I am willing to pay a little more for a pasteurized product. Raphael 2025/07/22 18:54 Can you provide the source for the statement that Parmesan is unaffected by the ban? The website states that all cheese from the EU is covered by the ban and the Cheese Academy website for which you provide a link expressly provides British alternatives as substitutes. I would not like to bring back some Parmesan from my forthcoming trip only to have it confiscated or worse. Can you clarify please?
