US POLISH CHEESE IMPORTER?

Anyone know of an importer in the US who imports Polish sheep's milk cheese oscypek to America? According to some reports I have heard, oscypek does not conform to US health specifications. Any truth to that?

Oscypek now has PGI status in the EU which means that the real thing can only be made to specific standards, which include the method, the place and the season (e.g. sheeps milk is only available from April to October). Further, to be able to export outside of Poland into the EU, another set of permits are needed (veterinary) and to date, only one producer has successfully obtained this for oscypek. From what I know, he doesn't export much as he can sell everything he makes here.

Further, 'real' oscypek is unpasteurised, and US FDA regulations don't allow raw milk products that are less than 60 days old to be imported or sold, which is clearly crazy but there you go.

Oscypek is made from RAW (unpasteurized) sheep's milk and cannot be imported into the U.S. Some Look-alikes are sold but are not truly authentic.
