• Methods of making

最常见的cheese

Parmesan：

最最最常用和常见的起司~~常常被磨成粉或者是较短的条状，平易近人了不起的起司~也是绝对不能不认识的常见起司~其实parmesan是法文，所以念起来要有点文艺气息才象~霍霍~

Cheddar:

Country: England

Milk: cow milk

Texture: semi-hard

在美国最常见的起司，因为比较没有那么硬可以被磨成条状或者丝状，很容易融化成酱~到处都可以加的样子…

Mozzarella :

Country: Italy

Milk: cow milk

Texture: soft

Camembert and Brie

Brie /briː/ is a soft cows' cheese named after Brie, the French province in which it originated (roughly corresponding to the modern département of Seine-et-Marne). It is pale in colour with a slight greyish tinge under crusty white mould; very soft and savoury with a hint of ammonia. The white mouldy rind is edible, and is not intended to be separated from the cheese before consumption.The region in France that gave its name to this cheese (Brie) is, in the French language, feminine: la Brie, but French products take the gender of their general category; in this case cheese (le fromage) is masculine, and so Brie is also masculine, le Brie.

Country: France

Milk: cow milk

Texture: soft

在三明治里常见~

Feta:

Feta (Greek: φέτα) is a brined curd cheese traditionally made in Greece. A sheep's milk cheese, varying amounts of goats’ milk may be added, as long as goat milk makes up less than 30% of the total mixture. Since 2005, feta has been a protected designation of origin product in the European Union. Although traditional feta cheese should only include sheep and goat's milk, it is quite common that cheese sold as 'feta' includes cow's milk, or even is composed exclusively of cow's milk. Feta is an aged cheese, commonly produced in blocks, and has a slightly grainy texture. It is used as a table cheese, as well as in salads, pastries and in baking, notably in the popular phyllo-based dishes spanakopita ("spinach pie") and tyropita ("cheese pie") and combined with olive oil and vegetables. Similar white brined cheeses (often called 'white cheese' in the various languages) are found in the eastern Mediterranean and around the Black Sea.

我是在希腊餐厅的沙拉上认识它的…没有那么常见~~
