They know it's not "real," they pasteurize it specifically to be able to sell it in the US.

There are "back channels" for european unpasteurized cheese to be sold here. I've been friends with a couple of cheesemongers who sell that stuff. I asked them how it comes over here when the FDA doesn't allow it. "In shipping containers, like everything else". I asked them what would happen if it was discovered. "They'd probably just destroy it all." I've found examples of such cheeses in great cheese stores across the USA.
