when they first imposed sanctions The initial sanctions And after that after 2014 there was no European cheese at all Yes Yulia Yes And for a time there was a shortage of imported or foreign cheese But right now well I suppose imported cheese isn't available either Yet there's a large amount of Russian cheese that tastes almost imported Or maybe it's imported cheese just routed through a few countries to get around the sanctions Make that cheese Mascarpone come on let's take a look Yes this is the cheese for tiramisu And here I already see it 462 that's Russia I think Yes please manufacturer Russia Voronezh Oblast Mascarpone from Voronezh Oblast Well I think this is also Russian cheese Let's take a look Okay the organization the manufacturer Republic of Belarus Belarusian

there are hearty pies here right That's usually what they're called Hearty pies By the way yes Lent is currently underway Great Lent That's why you often come across vegetarian dishes This means it is
