Say Cheeeeese!!!   EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT IT- 1

Cheese! What’s so damn complicated about it????

Well, what’s so confusing? The confusing thing is that there are over a thousand varieties of cheeses, man!

The word cheese comes from Latin caseus, from which the modern word casein is closely derived. The earliest source is from the proto-Indo-Eropean root *kwat-, which means "to ferment, become sour".

Cheese is a food product derived from milk, either from a cow, goat, buffalo, or sheep. It comes in a variety of forms, textures and looks and tastes. Here are some of the common ones—

PARMESAN: A hard Italian cheese with a strong smell and flavour. It is grated over pasta or risotto, and cooked with many dishes.                                          

 

CAMEMBERT: A French cheese. It is creamy inside and has a soft rind from outside.

SAINT ANDRE:  A French cream cheese. Mild flavour with a soft rind.

EMMENTAL & GRUYERE: Firm Swiss cheese with sweet and nutty flavour.

                    

GORGONZOLA: A creamy Italian blue cheese with very strong flavour.

TALEGGIO: Creamy medium soft Italian cheese with mild flavour.

HALLOUMI: Mild cheese from Cyprus. Can be made from cow, sheep or goat’s milk.
