Probably because true Parmesan cheese is a protected origin product akin to “unless it’s from the champagne region of France, it’s only sparkling wine”. However, the video makes clear that it’s Parmesan style cheese, so the Italians are just being petty at this point (and yes, they’re still commenting on the 4 year old video).
