How about Dutch Gouda, French Camembert or Italian Parmesan? Or perhaps you're more partial to cheddar from the UK or feta from Greece? European cheese is popular all over the world. Nowhere is as much cheese produced as in Europe: more than 10 million tons in 2023. And nowhere is as much cheese eaten as in Europe: statistically speaking, every European consumes more than 20 kilograms of cheese every year (based on the 27 EU member states in 2022). European cheeses are as varied and diverse as the continent itself! Find out here how some classic European cheese are made.

Let’s not forget Eastern European cheeses! Brânză de burduf (also known as "Brânză frământată"(English: Kneaded cheese)) is a salty type of Romanian cheese, made with sheep (or occasionally buffalo) milk. It has a strong flavour and slightly soft in texture. Bulgarian cashcaval is another rich flavourful cheese made from sheep or goat milk.

In the canton of Ticino there's enough variety of cheeses to go along a whole life, my horizon on cheese encompasses the whole of Europe with variety, flavour and textures to have a different cheese each day of ones life. In the end I think there's no "favourite cheese", somewhere there's the next one.

The Azores have an outstanding cheese that I feel you have missed along with the Mountain cheeses of the Alps. The first cheese of the season is made from milk when the cows have first been taken to the high pastures where they feed off of the flowers. The Val di Non and Sole are two areas that make this amazing cheeses.

What's about Handkäse? You find it in the Rhine-Main area in Germany. It's similar to Harz Cheese. It's a low fat cheese, you eat it plain and simple with bread and butter or with a sauce of oil, vinagre, onions, paprika and kummel.

Fun Fact, main reason why in the Netherlands so much cheese and other dairy products are produced is because the soil cannot be used for much else than grow grass (peat soil).

Specially with not only the mainstream cheeses

@labechamel75 Ай бұрын

I lived in Italy and traveled to Greece and Netherlands and therefore I have tried all these 3 countries cheeses. Italy has some good ones : parmigiano, mozzarella, pecorino, ricotta…, however if you like cheeses with strong character, real flavors and and want to enjoy various types, France tops all the countries. Camembert is an amazing french cheese but Comté, Roquefort, Brie, Saint Nectaire, Bleu d’Auvergne, Cantal, Morbier, Pont L’Eveque, Livarot, Epoisse, Mimolette… acccompany with french wines 😍😍😍

Where are the Spanish cheese?? Cow milk its not the best milk for cheese. Sheep and goat milk are better. Spanish cheese not are popular because not are comercial, dont have marketing. Try manchego, cabrales, gamoneu, casar, or one sheep cheese with 1-2 years old.

@leviturner3265 4 ай бұрын

Spanish cheeses are not well known with the exception of by cheese experts. Almost every one in the western world knows about feta, parmasean, gouda, and cheddar. Camembert may be a little more obscure. Personally I have had a Spanish cheese once. I do not even remember what it was called. I think if anything was missing it was probably gorgonzola, brie, and gruyere because again these are well known cheeses the world through.

@miragept 4 ай бұрын

Iberian cheese in general seems less famous, probably the most famous is manchego.
