Casu marzu (also called casu modde, casu cundhídu in Sardinian language, or in Italian formaggio marcio, "rotten cheese") is a traditional Sardinian sheep milk cheese, notable for containing live insect larvae. It is found mainly in Sardinia, Italy.

My dad told me about that cheese one time.
He said they took it out and popped the top off of it and a bunch of worms came out.
People were killing them but the guy that did the cheese said not to cuz it was the best part. lol
Gross!

As always Hans.
Good stuff. Love the pics and the links. It's always cool to learn about locations hidden by time.

Hey hans,
That's awsome stuff,
I am reminded of a travel/ cooking show I saw some time ago.
The host was travelling around some Mediterranean island,and met a local herdsman.
The herdsman took the host to his families ancestral summer cave, whew he and his brother lived during the summer months,while they tended their herd. When asked how long their family had used the cave, he replied ,"always", and related how someone from the "university" had been out and studied their cave and said people had been living there for thousands of years.
The herdsman then showed him some of the cheese, OMG it was foul looking, and the guy said it was best after it hqd warmed in the sun.,
