The Best Places in the World to Vacation If You Love Cheese
"You can find just about any type of Italian cheese in Sardinia, from pecorino to blue cheese. But what makes Sardinian cheese special (and maybe a little risky) is an illegal cheese made with live maggots called casu marzu. Featured on an episode of The Amazing Race, the cheese, said to taste like a strong Gorgonzola, is considered safe to eat as long as the maggots are alive. Of course, the selling of this particular cheese is illegal — in the U.S., Italy, and many other countries — because there's always a risk the maggots will survive and go on to cause issues inside your abdominal tract, no matter how hard you try to avoid eating them. Perhaps it's better to stick to other cheeses during your trip to avoid bringing home any extra souvenirs." - Travel + Leisure Editors
