You're confusing France with Italy

France does have Mimolette, which is delicious, if a bit strange. Italy is definitely taking the worm cake, though. No freaking thank you.

My dad told a story about how they were honeymooning in Paris (this was back in the 60s) and they were at a cafe and they saw this interesting-looking cheese with black dots on it. And then they noticed the dots were moving. And then a waiter came by and waved a cloth on the cheese and they all flew away.

They did not order the cheese.

French here, it is also produced in France.

From the wp page you sent:

Variations of this cheese also exist in Corsica, France, where it is called casgiu merzu, and is especially produced in some Southern Corsicanvillages like Sartène.

some Southern Corsicanvillages like Sartène.

Lana! Southern Corsican villages are known for their leather edible worms!
