Feta cheese has long been a favourite of mine. It augments, lifts up, enhances any salad or pizza to a mouth-watering experience!
Feta, and other foods, are the sticking points in negotiations over a free trade agreement called the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). US Secretary of State for Agriculture Tom Vilsack says that feta should be seen a process, not a place. European officials disagree, and so the spats continue over Geographical indications (GIs).
South Africa has had its experience over these GIs when it came to marketing wine overseas, with various terms long used (like "champagne") suddenly contentious.
