French Comedian Loves Aussie Cheese: 'Cheap cheddar is the new French cheese!'

French comedian Leo Filipetti has once again shared his thoughts on Australian supermarket cheeses, this time with a surprising endorsement for Mersey Valley Pickled Onions cheddar. Initially questioning if the cheese brand's name was a play on the French word for 'thank you,' Filipetti opened the package with low expectations, noting its lack of aroma.

However, upon tasting the cheese, Filipetti's opinion dramatically shifted. He excitedly declared, 'Forget everything I said about French cheese,' and proclaimed, 'Cheap cheddar is the new French cheese,' much to the delight of his Australian audience and fans of the brand.

This positive review follows Filipetti's earlier viral video where he controversially suggested that Australian versions of Brie and Camembert were identical. Experts have since weighed in, noting that while ingredients are similar, differences in processing and aging contribute to subtle variations in the final products.

Mersey Valley Pickled Onions club cheddar vintage cheese is available at major Australian supermarkets. Fans have lauded the cheese, with some jokingly stating they miss it even while living in France. Filipetti is currently touring his comedy show in Melbourne and Sydney, and is seeking further Australian cheese recommendations.
