[email protected] 1 Preface In the beginning of 2017, I was starting with exploring my interests regarding thesis topics. I wrote down a web of several subjects and questions that were on my mind. However one subject has been staying on my mind. In the same period, an evening course called Insects and Society crossed my path. During this course, I learned about the wonderful world of insects and showed me how beneficial insects can act as food and feed. Casu Marzu was one of the examples of insects as food consumed within the European Union. Several persons told me that you should do your thesis in a field that you are attracted to, otherwise it would be a very long and hard period. Since then, I noticed that Casu Marzu had to be the topic of my thesis.
