Wait for it…

To think it all started with those alkies in Champagne and Scotland who thought their hooch was so special…

Considering the subject, shouldn't that be "fresh from the cow's teat"?

They would be better off trying to obtain status for the end product - poutine - rather than a single ingredient, which would be a closer comparator to Champagne and Scotch Whisky.

We have sheep farms in NW Ontario that make cheese in the same style/process as a certain area of Spain, which anyone can do anywhere they have sheep’s milk. That don’t mean they can call it Manchego. I suspect it would have to depend on the specs of the milk/cheese involved.
