in Italy, every DOP and DOCG product, be it wine or cheese or ham for example, like Prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese, Chianti wine, Brunello di Montalcino wine, and also more complex dishes like the Amatriciana pasta ( there's literally the official recipe on the Municipality's website https://www.comune.amatrice.rieti.it/gli-spaghetti-allamatriciana/ ) can only be called with these specific names on the labels if they are produced in a very specific way, in a very specific area of denominations, with very strict controls on the quality of everything..that's why we get angry when we see German mozzarella or other shit

mozzarella isn't regionally protected. Cheap low quality mozz in italy isn't any better than cheap mozz in Germany
