I'll not often criticise my own country in these forums, but Australia is such a nanny state these days that unpasteurized cheese is
illegal. Can you believe that? We make some of the finest cheese on the planet - or could do - but for ridiculously stringent regulations designed for "our protection" which insist all cheese be made from pasteurised milk.
So this is just a warning to you all - don't let that happen to you. Support your local unpasteurised cheese makers or watch the regulators move in and ruin it for everyone.
Eat more cheese!
