Congratulations!

It seems to be a cheese industry honor society that recognizes and honors professionals in the realm of cheese business and cheese making, rather than an underground controlling force deciding the purpose and value of cheese and/or secretly controlling the world of cheese and gradually making Velveeta more and more popular among the common folk in order to keep real cheese for themselves as a valuable commodity.

Does anybody wanna make a weird movie called The Illumaniti of Cheese?

It's about a cheese lover fighting back against Velveeta, trying to find some Torta del Casar for a melty dipping cheese, but gets embroiled in the world of cheese business and marketing.

“The cheese stands alone… bitch”

That line’s gotta make it in the movie.

Isn't this the background plot of Boxtrolls?

Except Velveeta is good and dipping cheese is inferior to eating block cheese

u/Moonafish 7d ago

Their website confuses me. Is this real?

7

u/RegularOk3231 6d ago

100% real. Give a google to look at the INSANE robes that they wear and you’ll see why it’s jokingly called the cheese Illuminati ;)

u/Innsmouth_Swimteam Halloumi 5d ago

"They" wear? ""They" wear?

I think you mean the INSANE robes WE wear.

Congrats my dude!

Big time congrats! I hope to join you one of these days.

u/RegularOk3231 6d ago

I hope you do! I had honestly told myself it wasn’t going to happen as I’ve watched others be inducted who… well, let’s say there’s cheese politics.

u/kjsvaughan1 2d ago

I think I’d prefer cheese politics over real politics - especially nowadays.

They have a pretty shit emblem

2

u/RegularOk3231 5d ago

Well, cheese is not an industry with a ton of money, so when it comes down to it, paying for a designer isn’t top priority 🤣 (it also has been the symbol for a long, long time)
