The French do their arguably dumber "you can't call that thing you made what I call it even though it's the same recipe, because it wasn't grown where my ancient relatives made it," though. Also France's general xenophobia and owning a bona fide colony way later than the Anglos lol

You're talking about AOP (Appelation d'Origine Protégée / Protected Origin Naming). It makes senses because protected names are place names. You can't call any sparkling wine "champagne". It has to come from Champagne. However, you can call your raw milk cheese "faisselle" even if it wasn't made in Rians, as faisselle isn't a place.

Too bad this kid wasn't born at Skywalker Ranch, then

By that logic, you should object to cheese being labelled as "cheddar" cheese, because that's a place too and you've almost certainly never seen cheese which came from there.

It's a stupid rule

There is a West Country Farmhouse Cheddar PDO at the European level for cheddar from Cheddar.
