Jul 06, 2015 Casu Marzu contains worms and is considered an absolute delicacy in Sardinia, where it comes from. Even the most hardcore cheese lovers have been known to balk when offered a slice of bread with. Casu marzu is a Sardinian cheese that contains thousands of maggots. In the early stages of cheese production, the cheesemaker removes the outer crust, which encourages flies to enter and lay. Casu marzu isn’t the only illegal cheese Sardinians still make and consume in spades. Others like su callu, a goat cheese made by drying the milk- and hair-filled stomach of a freshly slaughtered suckling kid in the open air for weeks then scooping out the soft, fiery gloop that forms within it, are even easier to find. The islands pecorino, serves as a base for Casu Marzu The cheese Fiore Sardo, the ’Sardinian flower’, is the island’s pecorino (. made from sheep milk). This cheese that is usually the base for Casu Marzu, the ’rotten cheese’. This delicacy originates from the Italian isle of Sardinia and is deemed a secret treat for those brave enough to try the unusual dish. A sheep’s-milk cheese intentionally infected with insect larvae, casu marzu has a notorious reputation for being the most dangerous and illegal cheese in the world, with live maggots crawling within it.
What is the price of a casu marzu wheel?
Nobody knows for sure.
Marketing it or serving it in restaurants is ILLEGAL: Casu Marzu is not for sale.
Is Casu Marzu safe to eat?
The European Union says no, countless generations of long-living Sardinians say yes.’Anything good in life is either immoral, or illegal, or fattening’. (F.Rand)
Let’s dive in...1. Casu Marzu has been the Robin Hood of cheeses for more than 50 yearsThe islands pecorino, serves as a base for Casu Marzu
The cheeseFiore Sardo, the ’Sardinian flower’, is the island’s pecorino (* made from sheep milk).
This cheese that is usually the base for Casu Marzu, the ’rotten cheese’.
This unusual delicacy is the best of the best the lovely Italian island can offer, from a gourmet’s point of view, and yet an Italian law banned Casu Marzu as long ago as.... 1962!
European regulators made matters even worse 40 years later.
The enforcing of a regulation, in 2002 made production and sales of the ’rotten cheese’ illegal.
Not only in Italy, but in all the common EU market.
Ironically, the name Pecorino Sardo had enjoyed a European PDO title (Protected Designation of Origin) since 1996.
In 2004, the Sardinians applied to get a PDO for Casu Marzu too, in an attempt to react to the ban.
Unfortunately, the authorities denied the application.
The rotten cheese is still banned though supporters hope that this will change.
And, that new rules on Novel Foods will pave the way to some solution soon.What was the reason of the ban of Casu Marzu?
Insects.
Larvae, to be precise.
The phiophila casei fly, is the minute artisan.
The fly transforms a good traditional cheese like the Sardinian Pecorino in the extraordinary Casu Marzu.
Wondering how?
By eating and digesting it.
And the larvae STAY in the cheese and get to be eaten with it.
Alive.
The prudery of the EU when it comes to food hygiene and safety standards is well known even on minor issues.
Live maggots in food?
No way, for EU rulers.
They regard it as an infestation.
Actually, the presence of fly larvae in the Casu Marzu is not only desirable and encouraged... it is indispensable.
There would be no Casu Marzu without maggots.
As there would be no bread, wine and cheese without fermenting bacteria.An Old Tradition
The Sardi have inhabited the island for millennia. And made pecorino from the milk of their sheep since Bronze Age.
They have a reputation for pride and stubbornness.
They proved it in this case.
The production of Casu Marzu never stopped, despite its sales being outlawed.
Several small farmers, especially in the hinterland, produce it.
Officially, only for their own consumption.
Of Course!
