I second the motion to seek out cheese from GMO unfriendly countries. Cheese from the US has been on a downhill slide for a long time. The popular unnaturally yellow/orange sliced cheese that comes with individual wrappers hasn't actually been cheese for a long time. The nearest it has ever been to a moo cow is if it was driven past a pasture of them on the way from the factory to the warehouse. Grated Parmesan cheese has sawdust in it. They like to say the content is not "high", but to my way of thinking any amount of sawdust in my food constitutes a high sawdust content. Yuck. Years ago I noticed that cheese seemed to taste different. More bland. Less flavorful. That is when the GMO buffoonery with cheese began. I will pay extra for cheese (OK, just about any food) processed in a country that frowns on GMOs. Not because they are inherently evil (I'm not arguing they aren't), I do it because they taste better. It has been more difficult since the intentional disruption of the supply chain. Which I might point out was working fine right up until 2020. I feel better after my rant.
