No, I wasn't referring to the refrigerator of your villa rentals. It will be clean. The "fridge of horrors was a term evidently used by Italian Agriculture Minister Luca Zaia to describe an icebox full of counterfeit "Italian food."

''It will be a refrigerator chock-full of all the disgusting things we have confiscated in the last eight months,'' Zaia explained, stressing that only around one out of ten products with labels claiming to be Made in Italy are actually authentic. ~ 'Fridge of horrors' to be unveiled

The haul of disgusting goods includes: pasta produced in Arab countries, Chinese mozzarella and United States 'parmesan'.

Ok, I'm with the Italians on the one item with which I'm familiar. Parmesan is indeed disgusting. It is used as salt by us Americans to ad zip to intentionally undersalted food which we've been tricked into believing is good for the ol' ticker.

It is expensive when used as salt. It may even be expensive as cheese from Parma, since there's a glut of the stuff in Italy these days.
