Answer 1

Trappiste: name given to the mild, lactic cow's-milk cheese made in a Trappist monastery in Echourgnac
History:
Just north of the French border lies Chimay, a town in the Belgian forest of Mont du Secours. In 1850, Trappist monks built a Cistercian Abbey there as a place to study, pray and work.
In 1862, the monks added a dairy and a brewery to the Abbey to help generate funds for their livelihood. Soon thereafter, they started making cheese from milk produced at the dairy that
became quite popular at the local marketplace.

Answer 2

Absolutely nothing...
