Another Brexit fiasco.... British cheeses failed to get to the World Cheese Awards in Portugal as they failed to clear customs in time (now being from a non-EU country).

In the scale of the disasters of Brexit its not going to to be a big thing (although it will be for the frustrated cheese makers), but is emblematic of how myopic the Brexiters were about the impact of their successful plan to leave Europe....

UK cheeses miss out on international prize after getting stuck in customs

At the World Cheese Awards in Portugal, British entries were conspicuous by their absence after failing to clear import controls

Valencia is a lot like California. it’s considered one of the “bread basket” regions of Spain. it produces most of the tomatoes, oranges and olive oil for exports.

these floods are going to have devastating consequences to the food supply in Spain and all of Europe.

the price of olive oil is going to sky rocket world wide. Spain produces something like half of all the olive oil used worldwide. Italy and Greece depend on Spanish olive oil for their brands.
