I'm completely grossed out by this cheese, but the truth must be said, it's worse eating the fly eggs than eating it's larvae. Eggs are resistant to the stomach acids while the larvae not too much, the majority will probably die before reaching out to your intestines, and trust me when I say it's hard for something to get stuck along the way, the lucky ones would actually come out on your poo.

Cazu Marzu, illegal to sell publicly. Unless you make it for yourself. Creamy, and very good. Bit on the pricey side.

My mom freaked out when I showed her this XD

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am Sardinian and this disgusted reaction does not only occur in America, but also in the rest of Italy !! 😂😂😂 Besides, this cheese smells disproportionately, it really stinks a lot !!!
But it's good !! It must be taken in small doses because it is really very ... strong, it dries the palate to the point of making it completely dry. Accompanied with good wine it is excellent.
Last thing: it is not available in common shops, it is forbidden to sell! 😂😂😂

[barbararossi]

Haha I’m italian but honestly really few people actually eat this 😂

[royalarmy]

Is there a case that people died eating it? Is the protein from maggots significantly higher than regular meat?

[lexxzus]

For a HUGE sum of money I'll come back to the table for negotiations. Otherwise it's a NEVER EVER for me!!

[paolofurfaro]

[speerrituall]

Did you really have to ask? Nope, no thank you.🤮

[annetteslife]

I used to work at a restaurant that had blue cheese and everytime I had to was an insert that had blue cheese I was almost dry heaving

Very ignorant comments. The cheese confers health benefits and that is why the Italians of Sardinia are the longest living individuals in the world. The bacteria in the maggots and cheese is what your gut bacteria love. The more of this beneficial bacteria you have, the longer you will live as they allow for healthy gene expression and a damping down of inflammation as well as a robust immune system. Americans, think critically. This isn't just a group of stupid people doing this - they have noticed that they live healthier, longer when they intuitively eat like this. It is purposeful, calculated, but most of all, it is to their HEALTH. I am currently eating like the Sardinians and it has been miraculous for my health. Read widely, people, and always ask yourselves - WHY?

[jaytakajeremiahtisdale]

No matter how much you bribe me I ain’t eating that!, HELL

[Jayvee]

This is fucking disgusting. I hate hate hate maggots. I will fucking cry

[Trinida]

Haha the people who eat this cheese live longer than you people who eat vegetable oil and drink coca-cola.
