*[[sheep|Ewe]]'s milk (e.g. Roquefort)

*[[buffalo]] (Mozzarella)

*In Tibet, [[yak]]'s milk.

[[France]] is especially renowned as a cheese producer, and their president [[Charles de Gaulle]] famously said : "how can a country with 300 different kinds of cheese agree on anything?". However, many French cheeses are made from unpasteurised milk and their transport across international borders is therefore forbidden for health reasons. Certain French cheeses (such as Epoisses) are so smelly that their carriage even on French public transport is also banned.
