Why are Europeans so arrogant? Right now I can go buy an authentic plate of French brie, French camembert, Italian parmigiano reggiano, Greek feta and wash it down with French champagne, or I can buy the Australian and American equivalents and taste no difference whatsoever.
What makes them think food produced in one specific region of one specific country is any different to food produced elsewhere following the exact same process? Do they really believe only calves raised on the northern slope of a remote Italian mountain makes their cheese "special"? Autism.
