Cheese! by Peter Kenton

How many different kinds of cheeses are there in the world? The answer will probably never be known because every country except Antarctica and Turkmenistan makes a cheese. Some countries make more cheeses than others. Countries such as France, Denmark, Italy, England, and the USA all make at least 50 different kinds of cheeses.

France by far makes the most cheese of any country in the world. France makes over 150 varieties of cheese that are available on the market. France has many famous cheeses including Brie, Bleu, and Truffe. Many of the cheeses that are made in France are made from goat's milk, such as goat cheese. It is no surprise that France makes the most variety of cheeses considering how famous France is for its great food. However some of these cheeses can be harmful if eaten in large quantities, largely because of the mold content in the cheese, and as a result, many of these cheeses have been banned from sale.

Denmark. Famous in so many ways, including the cheese they produce. Denmark is certainly the most famous producer of cheese in the world, largely because of the very unique tastes of their cheeses. Many of these cheeses include Havarti, Cream Havarti, and Blue-Cream cheese. Denmark is the producer of more than 50 varieties of cheeses. Havarti cheese is by far the most famous cheese from Denmark. It famed for its sweet and salty taste, and creamy texture.
Most people don't think of England as being famous for their food, most likely because they boil everything. However, they are famous for their great cheeses. Many of these cheeses include Cheddar, Basket cheese, Bath cheese, Cornish Pepper cheese, and Goat cheese. Cheddar is probably the most widely consumed cheese in the world, largely because of its availability and because of its saltiness. Over the years, Basket cheese has won many awards at the international cheese competition. It has won awards for its taste, texture, color and how it was made. It is aged 4 years in a woven basket, which some say makes it taste like wood.
Many people don't think of the United States as a large producer of cheese. Many of these cheeses include Swiss cheese, Humboldt cheese, American cheese, and Texas Goat cheese. American cheese is the only famous cheese from America and foProxy-Connection: keep-alive

one reason: it's completely processed, exactly what Americans are famous for. However, American cheese is quite popular in America probably because it is very cheap, and it tastes good. Americans still have yet to master the art of making a really good cheese.
Italy, the most amazing country on earth. They make everything good, including their cheese. Many of these famous cheeses include Asiago, Mozzarella, Gorgonzola, Parmesan, and many many more. Parmesan cheese is probably the most famous cheese from Italy because of its versatility. It is eaten Caesar Salad, many kinds of Pasta, and even fish. It is famed for its salty taste and hard texture. Mozzarella cheese comes in many varieties. It comes in a dehydrated form where it is often used on Pizzas. There is also a fresh version which sits in water, which is often used on salads and specialty pasta dishes.
So how many different kinds of cheeses are there in the world. Researchers have estimated that there are at least 8,000 varieties of cheeses in the world, but there are only about 10 different kinds of milks used. Cheese makers are able to make many of these varieties by adding different flavors, but most importantly, the aging process is what the density, and the flavor depends on. Cheese for many is a necessity for making foods such as salads, pastas and sandwiches. However, many cheeses in the world are very rare and are considered a delicacy.
