Have you ever read about the great Quebec syrup heist? Thieves or gang member made off with a truck or barrels of maple syrup and it was worth several million dollars iirc.
Sure, but how do you counterfeit a cheese wheel? Are they just stealing the brand name? Are they making a Parmesan shell and filling it with American cheese? I don't get what the gain here is.
Basically, yes. It's not technically a brand name, but it's a "protected designation of origin". It's not legally considered Parmesan unless it was made in a specific geographical area.
Who... Who is out here trying to counterfeit 90 pound cheese wheels?
