    The big “problem” for the farmers is that consumers don’t actually give a shit about the DOP system.

      I have lots of complaints about DOP/PDO, but on the other hand it has its features.

      While it’s true that, to paraphrase Vesper Lynd, there is parmigiano, and there is parmigiano, and I prefer the latter kind… The worst parmigiano I can buy in EU is still damn good cheese.
