VIDEO: This cheese grows live insects

While gouda and mozzarella are among some of the more popular cheeses, there’s another that stands out for its special ingredient: insects.

Casu marzu, a cheese from Sardinia, grows live bugs. While there are natives who don’t mind eating the food as is, servers generally scrape off the critters or kill them by using a paper bag.

Even though cheese scientist Michael Tunick said “it’s not really legal” to sell it for health reasons, some partake in the delicacy despite the law.
