I have relatives who run an organic farm, which is rather large and industrialized for a farm that has the official German "bio" label. They make their own cheese as a side business, but it is only sold locally. This way they can charge a higher price and there are no middlemen, so it is profitable. But I doubt this would scale.

We were on holiday in France skiing for a week once and the hotel dinner included 4 different local cheeses each night - none were repeated of the course of a week. It wasn't exactly a smart hotel (2* I think) but the food was sublime.

  Some of the cheese they sell in France would be classified as a biological weapon in Germany. They are awesome.

      Nope. There are many French cheeses like that. Munster, livarot, époisses ...

        There are indeed. I didn't understand where the "nope" went to?
