I don’t even know what I’m defending, or what you’re talking about. Have a cheesy day!

So you’re crying you can’t get Euro cheese in the states? And that’s it? What’s the point in arguing about that.

Maybe have someone ship you some. We’re just offering you options. If none of it is good enough, get it from Europe then?

I also live in the Northeast, and, uh, New England absolutely has good cheese on a local level.

National brands are offered everywhere and are shit so they can be shipped across country. Strive for regional brands and you’ll have luck.

I buy imported Parmesan cut straight from the block for pasta, and savor it in each dish as it is expensive. Excuse yourself.

There are many small farm, local cheeses in my area. Arethusa is a famous, award winning cheese maker in my state. You pay a lot for it, but many farmer’s markets and rural areas have cheese makers.

Obviously if you buy national cheese brands, they will suck. But that doesn’t mean with a little effort you can’t find good cheese made locally to you with higher quality care.
