The best prosciuttos and mozzarellas are from Italy. The best teas are from China. Why can’t anyone who wants to recreate the process anywhere they want? In a greenhouse? In a factory?

You can recreate them… but part of the enjoyment is knowing what you’re eating has come from a certain area and has history and memories associated with it that recreated food cannot match. If I gave you some decent Italian mozzarella but told you it was from the cornershop I’m sure you wouldn’t enjoy it as much as if you were in a fine dining restaurant even though it’s the same product.
Wine is a classic example. Plenty of YouTube videos with wine experts and double blind taste tests show that most experts can barely tell a red from a white.
The best cheese is from Gloucestershire :).
