The hour of glory for Bulgarian cheese

Diana Josifova sees a potential ban on exports of Italian mozzarella due to high levels of dioxin as a chance for the Bulgarians to step into this market niche. "Bulgarian producers of dairy products should take advantage of the situation and get moving. They should stop calling for subsidies and demonstratively spilling thousands of litres of milk! The time has come for Europe to experience the delights of Bulgarian cheese in salt brine and Bulgarian soft cheese. There's been enough squabbling between the two dairy producers' associations. They should join forces and stage an aggressive campaign to convince people that Bulgarian cheese can easily compete with Italian mozzarella and Greek feta. Bulgarians have exactly one month to do this, because this is the amount of time estimated for mozzarella to reach its former quality standards. Now is the time to import 12,000 super buffaloes from India!"
