I thought it was encompass in « more than the sum of its part ». The milk is core, the process is key, the conservation and timing is deceptively important. You might feed the same breed of cow the same altitude grass, at the same season… and still end up with a different product. But I see your point, and I think it’s a reasonable one. It’s possible to duplicate a cheese making process and be successful ( or wine: California comes to mind ) But that might be tricky, and maybe i don’t want to be disappointed so I will go with the Geographical indicators label. It’s a safe bet. A sister response to my earlier comment bring a good point. Sometime you want to patronize a particular region for sentimental reasons.
