Fly larvae are introduced into Pecorino to help advance the fermentation process of the traditional Sardinian cheese. Once the larvae hatch, they eat their way through the cheese to soften it.
Technically illegal in Italy, as well as the United States, underground Sicilian gourmands who take their chances have to eat it before the maggots die or else they might too. If you're one of them, the local way to eat it is over flatbread accompanied by a strong red wine.
Even if this cheese wasn't banned, we wouldn't want to eat it!"
