This is a list of cheeses by place of origin. Cheese is a milk-based food that is produced in wide-ranging flavors, textures, and forms. Hundreds of types of cheese from various countries are produced. Their styles, textures and flavors depend on the origin of the milk (including the animal's diet), whether they have been pasteurized, the butterfat content, the bacteria and mold, the processing, and aging.
Herbs, spices, or wood smoke may be used as flavoring agents. The yellow to red color of many cheeses, such as Red Leicester, is normally formed from adding annatto. While most current varieties of cheese may be traced to a particular locale, or culture, within a single country, some have a more diffuse origin, and cannot be considered to have originated in a particular place, but are associated with a whole region, such as queso blanco in Latin America.
Cheese is an ancient food whose origins predate recorded history. There is no conclusive evidence indicating where cheesemaking originated, either in Europe, Central Asia or the Middle East, but the practice had spread within Europe prior to Roman times and, according to Pliny the Elder, had become a sophisticated enterprise by the time the Roman Empire came into existence.[1]
In this list, types of cheeses are included; brand names are only included if they apply to a distinct variety of cheese.
The dominant Han Chinese culture is not dairy-centric, in part due to low rates of lactase persistence. However, some indigenous sociolinguistic groups in regions of the country, such as Inner Mongolia, Tibet and Yunnan, have strong cheese traditions.
Paneer is now widespread in most of the Indian subcontinent.
There are two types of Mongolian cheese (бяслаг). They are similar in taste and are like a cross between mozzarella and an unsalted feta cheese.
In addition to the regular Staazer, there are also the varieties:
Staazer with wild garlic - 50% fat (Staazer cheese with wild garlic in the dough) Staazer with hay flowers – 45% fat (Staazer cheese with dried hay flowers on the rind) Source: https://www.kaesewelten.info/kasesorten/kuhmilch/staazer/
Urdă/Izvara is similar to ricotta in the way it is produced.
Germany's cheese production accounts for approximately one-third of all European-produced cheeses.[54]
This cheese is very valued as a delicacy in whole of Montenegro, and it is one of the most expensive fresh cheeses on the national market. The name of this cheese is derived from its specific texture. Thin, sometimes almost transparent, layers create a leafy structure, and make strings when the cheese is pulled apart. It has a pleasant mild fragrance. It does not contain high levels of fat, so its taste is mild and light.All producers make it in a similar manner, although every family has their own small secret that distinguishes their cheese, of which they are rather protective. What is known is that this cheese is made by combining the skimmed and whole cow milk. After adding the rennet, which makes milk curd, the cheese is drained and then frequently turned and folded. It is this manipulation that creates thin layers – leaves – that give it a characteristic texture.
Currently, there is an ongoing procedure for protection of geographic origin for this cheese.
The Netherlands is one of the major cheese producing countries of Europe, with a tradition of cheesemaking as shown by the Dutch cheese markets.
The history of cheesemaking in Poland goes back to 5500 BC, when cheese similar to mozzarella was produced in Neolithic times in Kujawy (north-central Poland).[65][66]
Poland is the 7th largest cheese producer in the world and has the 18th highest cheese consumption.
Marek Kosmulski described over 600 types of Polish cheeses manufactured between 1948 and 2019.
The distinguishing feature of this type of cheese is the fact that the product is subjected to the technological operations of wet and dry salting, respectively, which gives not only a special taste, but also a longer shelf life.
Switzerland is home to over 450 varieties of cheese.[93] Cows milk is used in about 99 percent of the cheeses produced. The remaining share is made up of sheep milk and goat milk.
The British Cheese Board[94] states that there are over 700 named British cheeses produced in the UK.
within the EU only products made in certain parts of Cyprus can be called "halloumi".
The Levant is a geographical region east of the Mediterranean Sea which includes the countries of Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Palestine and sometimes it includes Cyprus and the Turkish province of Hatay
After a couple days or after any refrigeration they can be "regenerated" with a couple seconds in a microwave, but they will not be the same or as fresh. They are good in an omelete or breaded and fried at this point. After a few days they will be like a young colby or cheddar.
Some types of cheese were either developed in various locales independently (usually as un-aged products from the beginning stages of dairy processing and cheesemaking), or are not actually cheese products. Examples include:
Geography has left Cyprus heir to numerous culinary traditions—particularly those of the Levant, Anatolia, and Greece – but some dishes, such as the island's halloumi cheese [...] are purely Cypriot.
Haloumi, or halumi, is a mild salty Cypriot cheese made from goat's, ewe's, or cow's milk.
Cyprus has managed to secure EU recognition of halloumi as a traditional cheese of Cyprus; therefore no other country may export cheese of the same name.
