> trying to discourage the usage of "something style" naming

The law prohibits exactly this. From the Wikipedia article [1]:

[Under Protected Geographical Status laws] it is also prohibited to combine the indication with words such as "style", "type", "imitation", or "method" in connection with the protected indications

But that should only apply to products, not to video titles describing how to execute the recipe, right? Otherwise I guess you could title the video "how to make cheese using the official recipe for Grana Padano, with the understanding that this will not result in Grana Padano cheese"

I expect to see a video on "How to make edible dairy product that is absolutely nothing like Grana Padano" by the weekend.

Interestingly, the article mentions that the protection in Australia applies to wines but not Cheese

Can't imagine why Australian wine needs protection... Who would try to copy it?

Sorry, gonna go out on a limb and say you don’t try a lot of wines. Australia has some really great wines, both reds (Shiraz) and more recently whites (their Chardonnays are as good most of Napa’s). Their wine production is ~half of the USA, despite their much lower population and they export quite a lot of it (40 or 50%, I forget the exact number).

China just put 200% duties on any wine products from Australia so it might be a good time to import the excess.

So just use a green screen to make it look like you're in Italy and call your video "How to make Grana Padano"?

The legal thing and more common thing in the US is “Compare with <brand X>”, which doesn’t imply equality but does give away that it’s some kind of clone

That's when naming products.

This video only shows how to follow a recipe.
