Can DOs work?

from Heritage Mezcal · host salvador periban

The controversies around who gets to use the words tequila or mezcal are never ending. All of which are linked to how the PDOS, or Protected Designations of Origin, for each one of these products were written.That is why I decided to invite the man I call the “Cheese Superman” to this podcast. I find cheese to be very relevant to understand this matter because one of the first PDOs, back in 1925, was created to protect Roquefort and fight its counterfeits. According to the Roquefort official website this has allowed for Roquefort to be serenely modern and more relevant than ever. Please welcome Zach Berg and his cheesmongering parlance.
