In May 2013, a shipment of around 1.5 tons of seemingly normal cheese was refused entry into the United States. And while looks wise there was nothing suspicious, according to the Food and Drug Administration, this shipment of cheese had a problem: mites.

What? $25 off? I wouldn't spend $25 on honey let alone an amount so high that the company can offer $25 off of the price.🤦♂️
I'm sure it's tasty honey but unless it's curing an illness or de-aging me that much is too much for honey.
Great job. We've all been together since the beginning with the Magic School Bus, and will remain together for another period of time after cancer takes you.
I will say; my stomach does not discriminate. It matters not to my acid where on the microcosm the ingredients fall; there is room for all sized cheese artists.
This guy eats the mites AND the guys who put them there
"This is Paul. He makes a good cheese."
"Oh boy. I can't wait to eat him!"
"You mean his cheese, right?"
...
...Right??
Vore!!!!
Honestly those mites look kinda tasty
@@TheNightshadePrince. Vore is impossible.
"There's nothing super startling about that description, nothing to suggest at least, that this is a suspicious cheese."
I dunno, man. I think cheese that looks like cantaloupe and tastes like lemons would be pretty suspicious if you ask me.
WHAT. My last name is Neral... I never thought anything else shared the name. It actually has a meaning?? AND IT'S FOUND IN CHEESE MITE SECRETION?!?!? This is LIFE CHANGING. I had to do a triple take.
It's genuinely astonishing how Hank nails the pronounciation of "Milbenkäse" every single time
If eating these microscopic animals gives you pause, i have bad news about the other food you eat.
You can see them if you look closely
Apples and oranges
@@JGB_Wentworth oh, yeah. There's tons of them on apples and oranges.
There is a huge topological difference between the two concepts))
1) “get inside the body”
2) “get inside the digestive system”
It surprised me very much the first time I learned that doctors consider the inside of your stomach the outside of your body.
Okay there Dr Drew
What? @@luipaardprint
Can't stress this enough. All mammals are elongated donuts, with other invaginations (respiratory system and urogenital system, mainly.) The digestive tract is the hollow tube that runs through us all, from mouth to anus. Something that is in your alimentary canal is not actually _inside your body_ -- it is just in a space surrounded by your body. If an organism were to pass beyond the walls of the alimentary canal, _then_ it would be inside your actual flesh.
Well, to be fair, once they're inside the digestive system, a lot of what makes them up gets inside of you through digestion.
They're really cute - almost give tardigrades a run for their crown as cutest in the Microcosmos 🧸 A very merry Xmas all over the way from Denmark 🤗
As a Cajun who routinely celebrates most important occasions by eating massive quantities of macroscopic arthropods (crabs, shimp, crawfish, etc.), I have no trouble whatsoever gulping down whole mouthfuls of mites, provided they taste good as-is, or can be made to taste good with sufficient application of Tabasco :)
I actually can’t eat blue cheese because I’m allergic to penicillin. Although, I never really realized that connection until I was an adult lol
My mother didn’t either until I spelled it out for her and she says “oh is that why it always makes me sick when I eat it?” Yes blondie it is 😂❤
I had mimolette for the first time in Quebec. One of the best cheeses I’ve ever had. Mimolettes I’ve had in the US just don’t compare.
Apparently all of that cheese on the US is imported from other parts, -I see very hard to manufacture on mass something so exotic and that used to be illegal until recently - so that means that either there aren't great variety of imported cheese or that Canadian cheese is likely superior to European cheese.
@@mike-6139
I think if there’s a functional difference, it’s more likely that Canada has less strict importation guidelines regarding cheese mites than the US. The one in Quebec was a long time ago so I’m not sure, but I would guess that the mimolettes I’ve had from the US and from Canada were all European imports.
@@diebesgrab
Maybe has to do with the way cheese market is adapting to lifting of banning, not sure if more mites necessarily means better flavor if given the right time.
That’s absolutely disgusting
As someone who worked with cheese, let me assure you that the difference was entirely in your head.
Im not a huge cheese lover, but i recently bought some 20-year-old chedder that was full of crystals, almost like pop rocks. It was amazing!
I don't like Cheddar. But I like aged gouda with crystals. Very good.
1000 day gouda is what I get.
i love microbe yayyyyyyy
I do love mimolette. It's worth eating a few mites that I don't even see. Roquefort is one of my favorites, though, highly acidic and noticeably salty. My local cheesemongers have both almost all the time.
damn, I love Mimolette, I didn't know.
There were warnings that the cheese was made from unpasteurized dairy. It disappeared from the stores for a few months and came back as being made with pasteurized dairy. SoI don’t think mites were the only reason. Unfortunately, the cheese is a pale comparison to what it was but it is still very good grated onto pizza and salads.
"See how gross this cheese is?"
"Sponsored by honey"
I don't mind the idea of the mites, but I *do* mind the idea of them being *alive*.
"Of course, sir. It's a cheese shop, sir. We've got- "
C: No no... don't tell me. I'm keen to guess.
O: Fair enough.
C: Uuuuuh, Wensleydale.
O: Yes?
C: Ah, well, I'll have some of that!
O: "Oh! I thought you were talking to me, sir. Mister Wensleydale, that's my name". - The Cheese Shop sketch, Monty Python.
As a Cheesemonger who’s wanted to see these guys up close for years this is awesome, i love scaring customers with this knowledge after giving them a sample 😂
Haha, nice. You're funny at the expense of others.
We should hang out. 🤣👍
Not very smart of you.
I'd so love to try every cheese in your inventory!
@@wjrasmussen666 how so? Regail me with your knowledge, oh mighty cheese sales expert
@@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupidi can’t tell if you’re being serious or not😂
3:44 Is there a baby mite harpooned on a larger adult's leg?! It looks dead and like it's being dragged along like a shoe.
I've never heard of either of these cheese varieties. Still, fascinating video!
Yay! More insight into everyday uses of the Microcosmos.
The lemony taste makes sense. I once ate a live ant at an "insects as food" seminar, and it tasted like lemon. It was actually good. Mites and ants have similar flavors, apparently.
Not all ants taste like lemon. The ones I ate didn't. They tasted spicyish
They were also live
We love mites! Ugh! So cute.
8:10 its good new for everyone... expect the mites... oh and yea the cows!!
i will drive by the cheese maker and buy some of his cheeses, stored the place in my want to go list...
I once tried a sicilian cheese with maggots. Another very weird cheese produced with help of little animals. The cheese I tried wasn't living anymore as this is difficult to get outside the mediterranean islands. The say you have to cover your nose to avoid maggots jumping in there. I'd like to go one day..,
Just listened to the cheese episode of scishow so this was a perfect add on! Those little guys are kinda scary but they are interesting lol
Question is what happens to the 25 different cheeses that I buy at the local when crammed together for awhile???? Are we making new cheese and should I go deep for a culture 😮
Thank you. I am lactose intolerant. Yeah, really. I use commercial yogurt as a laxative. In 1970 I was diagnosed as having IBS or maybe even Crohns. So imagine my surprise that I could enjoy certain cheeses with out several aches and gas and toilet paper for the next week after eating a small portion of cheese. How so? you may ask. I joined a French family who had a cheese board every single evening as an after-main course corner filler. AND...GUESS...WHAT!! I discovered I could eat sheep and goat cheeses, aged or not. Unfortunately, not so much any thing as small as a 0.5 cm square any bovine mild product that had not spent a least a couple hours in a slow oven. Think enchiladas! Is it no wonder then, that I never developed a relationship with cheese? That was in my early 50's, When I called my mother and told her I had eaten Rocquefort having not yet died, she responded with: Oh! Did I not tell you that you were allergic to my breast milk? That is why you cost me so much money! You had to have nothing but goat's milk and goat cheese and goat, Goat, GOAT all the time. It must have been the Polishness of your father. It was certainly not Texan. ... what I think? Yeah, everyone is different not only because of their environment but also because DNA is really just a Black Jack gamble.
Goat cheese is delicious. I hope journey to micro cosmos does not release a video ruining it for me
"Blessed are the cheese makers".
I ate so much different funky cheese in my life, some mites doesn't sound that bad, if it makes it taste better.
I would eat that cheese, although knowing me I might be allergic to them slightly.
Bee vomit, Yeast poop, Mite poop, Mold.
I-I mean we eat a lot of weird junk, and that's cool!
I guess pine honey is double weird, then, originating from honey dew secreted by aphids, drank and regurgitated by bees... 🤫🙃 I still love it tho. 😛
This doesn't actually gross me out much, because I've been eating cheese since I was born. I love cheese too much.
I mean, though there's quite a difference to it, but we put fungus into doughs to make bread, and we cook them before eating
I love your scripts
Oh man ive never wanted to give in to an ad so badly but you freakin sold me on that honey!!
Have you ever wondered what the bees eat for the 48 weeks those manuka flowers aren’t blooming? As a former beekeeper this add is triggering my bullshit alarm.
I love a good raw milk, mite infused or moldy cheese.
thats when you know its good
if you like the idea of eating lemony cheese, you deserve the mites
TARDIBABE OMG THATS SO CUTE
Mimolette is delicious.
Milben means mite, so any German who is surprised by the cheese's content should be flogged.
I'm always amused the way people retch about what some people would eat, while spreading some Manuka bee vomit on bread.
We all saw enough cazu marzu on the internet that eating cheese mites seems like childs play
Also, Poo De Crappo is an incredible phrase.
Soft ripened and bleu cheeses are so damn good.
I’m not a cheese connoisseur and this video makes me absolutely not inclined to be one 😂
cheese is the Frankenstein of food . who came up with this stuff its too crazy .
Thanks Chloé!
Is this the same as the maggot cheese from Sicily?
We eat so many bugs,mites and bacteria,we don’t even know it!
Proof Wisconsin has the best cheese!
"...most cheeses are not usually filled with so many mights that the FDA decides to take action."
This statement implies there is a predetermined number of mites the FDA is O.K. with. I have a bad feeling it is a non-zero number.
We know you really wanted to say, "Mite poop" ... we know.
I mean, the literal translation of Milbenkese is "mite cheese" 😆
Yeah, I...mite...pass on this cheese.
Danm i want cheese now
This video really makes me crave some stinky cheeses
estas cosas parecen arroz con patas a la distancia correcta
“The mites cause allergies”. Don’t you mean allerCHEESE? 😂
… I’ll get me coat.
I want this cheese
Bugs are spices
Manuka Honey is also famously healthy. The best honey to use in lemon-and-honey drinks when one is sniffly or even just under the weather :)
I love Manuka honey. :-)
This video made me very thankful I'm lactose intolerant.
Thanks 🎉 for it
The title is misleading. Most cheese isn't made with mites but bacteria or rennet. Milbenkäse is a rare specialty.
Who else got a microscope bc of these guys
stopped mine collecting dust cause of em XD
This and going back to school
I don't like the taste of Manuka, but in my experience, it heals very many ailments.
People don't realize, or at least acknowledge, that we eat, unknowingly, all sorts of bugs and their accompanying organs and secretions, all the time!!!
I stopped eating cheese a while back. I prefer what I am eating is not moving.
hey hank hope you're doing well
Cheesus!!
can confirm, cheese is indeed delicious
are you a mite?
I never thought that mites might be tasty.
Thanks for the information🔬🦠🧀
these things look like rice with legs if you are at the right distance lol .
Mites might mite but might not mite with might 😂
I've always wanted to try the maggot cheese. That isn't allowed in the us. So I guess I'll start with mimelette
Little lobsters everywhere, redbugs will mess you up!
Why am I subscribed to this channel?! Every week is something freaky yet I can’t look away. Ick
Why does this video's thumbnail looks like damn album cover???
Free protein.
i love cheese, but cheese does not like me. not because im lactose intolerant but because it triggers my gag reflex :(
I'm off cheese, now. Thanks. [opens a pack of fig newtons]
I don’t wanna know that
😎
'milben' means mites
Thank you for allowing me to see the immensity of God's creations.
Tastes like fumunda.
I thought it's the cheese that gives mites the flavor
Fungus is one thing. I'll eat most fungi if they're safe. I love most fungus-covered cheeses (I don't eat the rinds). But mites? NFW. I will not eat the whole creature, carapace, antennae and all AND its poop. I don't do that with any animal and I don't know exactly what is wrong with people who do. For lemon-flavoured cheese? Really?
I like mozzarella
OK, this just went into the TMI zone and I'm bouta REEEEEEEEE! 😂 I did NOT need to know this and now i can't eat cheese until the next time i can bring myself to eat it. 😜
Bro tried to show me a rock and tell me its cheese. You think im stupid Hank? Milbenkäse more like Milbenkäint
If bacteria is okay, but mites not, where do we put the limit? At what size we go "nope, should not eat that"?
Casu martzu has maggots in it and is illegal in most countries so apparently there
When they are big enough to stare at you😮
No limit.
Eat raw oysters!
Or very dead and dried fruit.
My personal slogan: I’ll eat anything too slow to get away.😋
The maggot thing is due to concerns of the maggots being a choking and general health hazard if they survive
Answer = no such limit exists.
If a thing on Earth aides your survival and doesn't kill you, that thing is OK to eat.
You couldn't have gotten sponsored from a cheese maker?
I should go to bed
Okay calm down
Thanks, I hate it.
Veganuary, anyone?
