Every year there is a cheese festival that takes place in the North-Eastern town called Bra. The organizers decided to do a research about the origin of the word’s best cheeses and reveal where exactly do the best ones come from. I’ll share with you the origin of the most delicious ones about which taste I have too little to add. You will, surely, recognize them all.
1. Cyprus
Halumi is the name of the cheese which is a key part of every single meal in Cyprus. It is a type of cheese with simple texture and thousands of years of tradition. It has an original, almost neutral smell and a sour-milky taste. Since 1999 Halumi it’s an official national product is served fried or baked and covered with aromatic crumbs.
2. Macedonia
Feta is a type of white cheese which original recipe comes from Macedonia, even though nowadays countries like Denmark and Greece claim to have been the first ones producing it. The original Feta cheese is made of sheep’s milk, even though it could be made of cow and goat milk as well. The first piece of Feta white cheese ever to be sold was back in 1915. It is quite salty and it is the main ingredient in a lot of typical Macedonian dishes.
3. Great Britain
Cornwall Counties is famous for the Nettle cheese with sharp taste.It is a semi-solid moldy-type cheese. It is made of cow milk according to the traditional technology, which is covered with nettle leafs later and kept in a dry place for several months before it is best for a consumption.
4. Switzerland
The Swiss cheese is recognizable for the big wholes. Its typical milky taste is considered to be among the highly-valued among the gourmands around the world.
5. Italy
The Italian cheese Mascarpone was produced for the first time in the XVI century in Lombardy. It is made out of the fattiest types of milk therefore is considered to be among the most caloric ones. It has a creamy texture and it is used not only for salty meals but for preparing deserts as well, covered with sugar.
Which one is your favourite so far?
I say so-they are all good by their good one-a little bit a bit less-the best Slovenian ementalec for me
I did not get what you wanted to say, however, acording to me, nothing beats the Macedonian white cheese 😀
Elena translates via Gugl, but you know how good the Macedonian cheese is then – I ate a lot of it
Really, I don’t know much about cheese, just love all the foods with cheese.
It´s definitelly my favourite food! I could eat only cheese! xD Blessed be the one who invented it xD
I’m American so I would like to brag and say that the “best cheese” comes from Wisconsin. But the fact is I’ve gone into many gourmet cheese shops here in the USA and in the gourmet cheese section at the local grocery store and I can’t recall seeing any cheese from Wisconsin. LOL. But the cheeses were delicious wherever they came from. I love cheese!
I´ve never tried any American cheese but I´d have to, now that you say you love it. I would like it for sure because there´s no cheese I said it´s bad. 😀
A good post about cheeses. The cheese that makes my mother-in-law is the best
There´s no cheese like the homemade one! I agree with you that the one you have at home is the best one!
I love all kinds of cheeses.
Same here! Can´t get enough of eating cheese!
I do not know what kind of cheeses are in the world .I did not try everything. But, macedonian cheeses are fantasy. Sheep cheese from eastern Serbia is also high quality. Places where cattle graze grass are still clean, uninfected … it’s natura, and the taste is incredible.
I can´t agree more! I love all kinds of cheese that come from our region! We definitelly have product to be proud of!
I am now in Greek. I eat a ,,moldy,, cheese. I have to admit it’s really good.
My BF always looks for Macedonian cheese.
I can see he/she is smart 😀 With a reason he/she is looking for the best 😀
Yes he is. He knows what the best.
I’ve never tried the Halumi but I would probably enjoy it, I like soft cheese. 🙂
My favorite would be the French Brie, or the Italian tomino. Well, I’m “biased” about the latter because it comes from my region.
I consider myself one of the greatest fans of cheese xD I enjoy eating it and I agree with you that Brie is among the best ones!
I’m a fan of dry cheeses.
Which one is your favourite? I love all kind of cheese! Can’t imagine a day without eating cheese!
