That would get in the way of Arstechnica's hyper liberal bias. I eat raw cheese because it tastes good. It's common in France, like in reblochon and Brie de meaux. There aren't mass deaths in France because of this.
- delecti 7mo agoBut is it better, or just more traditional? France is a country that cares a lot about food tradition.
- amarant 7mo agoIt is better. We have a decently strong cheese tradition in Sweden too, but French cheese is tastier. I don't even like the French, their culture is obnoxious, I'd take every chance to shit on the French. But you just can't argue with their cheese, it's that good. Some of their wines are ok too, but I mostly prefer Italian on that front.
- Hikikomori 7mo agoItalian cheeses similar to French types from the alp regions are very good as well. Beppe and his cheeses in Rome.
- Asmod4n 7mo agoThere is no taste difference, it’s just cheaper to produce since you can skip heating it for a few minutes.

- jckt 7mo agoThere aren’t mass deaths in the US either (no deaths reported per the article). But there are definitely cases of listeriosis due to raw cheese in France. A recent outbreak was in 2025 and led to 2 deaths. https://www.rfi.fr/en/france/20250813-deadly-listeria-outbreak-in-france-tied-to-nationwide-cheese-recall https://www.rfi.fr/en/france/20250813-deadly-listeria-outbre...
