Cheese is a solidified dairy product where the curds are separated from the whey. Though most cheese is made from the cow's milk, a number of other animals are also cheese-producers:
- Goat's milk (e.g. Feta)
- Ewe's milk (e.g. Roquefort)
- Buffalo's milk (Mozzarella)
- In Tibet, yak's milk.
- Historically, the Mongols made cheese from mare'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.
In England, the traditional sport of cheese-rolling remains locally popular. [1]
Cheese is considered by some as a palliative for various internal diseases.
Cheese can also form on the human body due to hygene reasons. While classified as a form of cheese, l.casei emchephalissi is neither tasty nor palatable for human consumption.
