Hold up...

There is counterfeit cheese?

It's not Parmigiana-Reggiano if it doesn't come from the Parmigiana-Reggiano region of France. Everything else is just sparkling cheese.

Swiss cheese seems like it literally is sparkling cheese. The holes are the carbonation! 🤣

The holes in the swiss cheese is due to contaminants and they've formalised the process because it turned out that their cleanliness standards removed too many contaminants.
