In the past, cheese was usually packed in black wax. Nowadays this is rarely done.
It is found either in foil packaging (such a cheese can not breathe) or wrapped in greased cheese wraps, which allow the cheese to breathe and at the same time protect it from dirt getting into it.
The most controversial topping, pineapple, was added by a Greek immigrant, Sam Panopoulos, to a pizza served in his restaurant, Satellite, in Chatham, Canada.
