Known as Casu martzu this cheese is made from sheep milk but maggots are introduced into it for the birth of this cheese. It is reported it is best eaten when the maggots are alive.
This link below has more details
Do I have the honour of interacting with myLotters who have tasted this cheese?

@crossbones27 Truth be told. It is better that we do not know how that which saves our lives is prepared.

I have no heart to open the link. I saw one documentary about some weird but cherished foods around the world. And they showed this cheese which is quite cherished. I had a yuck feeling seeing those maggots.

@arunima25 Maggots are usually seen in wounds on animals that have festered and to think of that on cheese is grotesque Here in this post Maluse has a lot to say on this

@allknowing I went through the series of interactions that you both shared here. At least we know someone who has eaten this cheese with maggots in it. And we do get to know a lot about this cheese from her.

@allknowing Kind of like the coffee beans that get pooped out of an animal before roasting them.

@AmbiePam I have heard about that The poop comes out of the civet cat and to think that a civet cat visited us and not knowing what it was we got someone to take it away!!

I don't think that cheese would be for me. Have you had it? What does it taste like?

The maggots are a deal-breaker to me. I'll gladly pass.

Well we would be miles away from such a cheese when the living organisms are alive.
But may be afterwards !!
Let us see who all are familiar with this one !

Since it looks good for you then you might as well taste it and tell us how you like it

That is an under-statement. It sounds horrible - may be a better way of saying it (lol)
