I guess in that case I should probably seek out the counterfeit versions of it since they're now apparently better than the originals.

Where in the article did it mention that the counterfeit versions are better than the originals? I didn't see a comparison of quality at all (maybe I missed it?).

Well the counterfeit versions don't have microchips in them.

Neither does this cheese, if you read the article the microchips are in the casing
